There is no ego clash between Shiv Sena and BJP. This was said by Shivsena MP Sanjay Raut in  Hindi News Channel AajTak’s programme in Mumbai while participating in their ‘Agenda Aajtak’ programme. He also said that the 25-year-old alliance with the BJP will continue further.

Maharashtra Congress president Manikrao Thakrey said, that they have done a lot of development work in the last five years. And that  a lot of development work was carried out by the Congress in Maharashtra and they will go for elections with development agenda only.

However, Shivsena MP Sanjay Raut said that their alliance with BJP is 25 years old and it will remain so, emphasising on the fact that Shivsena has a bigger role than BJP. However, there is no clash between us regarding seat sharing. He added that there are some smaller parties also with them, after offering seats to them we can sort it within ourselves within 15 minutes. He also said that it’s every body’s right to ask for seat but has to be given to them only whose  chances to win are in volumes.   

In an answer to a question Sanjay Raut attacked the Cong govt by saying that the only thing that has bettered in the Cong-NCP govt are cases of corruption. BMC’s education budget exceeds Cong State budget.

Maharashtra BJP president Devendra Phadnis said in the programme that the time given by election commission to them is enough. We are preparing for Elections and so do the peoples of the state, infact they are more than ready to elect their leader this time.

On questions regarding the BJP-Shivsena alliance in the state, Devendra Phadnis said that we are brothers, During LokSabha elections we play big brother and during Vidhan Sabha elections Shivsena plays the same. 

While taunting on the Cong_NCP alliance, he says that the whole of the country has seen Patang Rao Kadam saying that all of us should unite, otherwise all of us would land up in jail. In matters of irrigation Maharashtra is lacking behind.

They could not overcome Power load shedding till date.  Development has happened only on papers in the last 15 years…. not on ground. The tender for installing CCTV in Maharashtra has not been able to pass in the last seven years.  We constructed the Worli Sea Link which these people can’t surpass, there has not been a construction of a single building in Dharavi Area.   We also made 55 flyovers in the state…what has been your achievement?

While responding to Maharashtra BJP and ShivSena attacks,

NCP President in Maharashtra Sunil Tatkare said that we

Are determined to fight this election along with our alliance. I’m sure that this also we’ll be able to form our govt. We are governed by a secular ideology. We have done tremendous work in the last five years. There has been a thorough development in the state. Development is a ongoing process.
