Mumbai: A day after saving their 25-year alliance from splitting, the BJP and the Shiv Sena were yet to reach an agreement on seat-sharing for the October 15 Maharashtra assembly elections.
The Sena has now proposed a new formula. “Shiv Sena’s fresh proposal proposes 126 seats to the BJP, 155 for Sena, and seven for Swabhimana Sanghatana. Out of the BJP’s 126, we have to accommodate other three partners with about nine seats, leaving us with 117 seats,” Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council Vinod Tawde of the BJP said.
This formula would now be finalised at a meeting between BJP state president Devendra Fadnavis and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, he announced.
