Mumbai, 29 Oct (HS): Bharatiya Janata Party has alleged running alliance partner

Shiv Sena group of not cooperating with it, which affected the results of the

Legislative Council elections. BJP State President Ravindra Chavan said that a

meeting with his party office bearers will be convened and the report will be

submitted to the High Command in Delhi.

Spokesperson

Navnath Ban said that alliance (Mahayuti) suffered and had to remain satisfied

with only two out of five seats. Maha-Vikas Aghadi (MVA) bagged three. The Mahayuti

suffered because of the approach and attitude of Shiv Sena group. The votes

were divided as Shiv Sena supported Sachin Sanap in Pune. Sanap secured about

12,000 votes, which could have been secured by official BJP candidate and have

won the seat.

Mahayuti candidate. In Pune Shiv Sena’s Mangesh Chivate was fielded as Mahayuti’s

official candidate. However, he withdrew his nomination.

Shiv Sena’s

Ravindra Ghangrekar replied to the allegations and said that Shiv Sena followed

the principles of the alliance. The results were opinion of the voters and Shiv

Sena followed the it followed the principles of the alliance honestly.
