The alliance between Shiv Sena and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha and Maharashtra Assembly polls seems unlikely. Shiv Sena has openly turned down the possibility of an alliance after BJP president Amit Shah told the party workers and leader to prepare for contesting the elections alone.
Earlier, while speaking on the ‘question of alliance’, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray targeted the ruling BJP and said, “Leave the alliance, tell what have you done for the farmers”.
According to sources, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Mumbai on January 23, 2019. With PM visiting Mumbai, the talks regarding Shiv Sena and BJP alliance have started again. The reason for PM Modi’s visit is not official yet.
