The rebel’s within the BJP and Shivsena have been a major headache for both parties in Maharashtra , more so for the BJP because alliance partner Shivsena has been openly supporting rebel BJP candidate’s !!!
Though both parties have been maintaining that they are in alliance but Shivsena who has been playing a younger partner part in the Maharashtra alliance had started dictating terms to BJP and Shivsena head Uddhav Thackreys statement that the Chief Minister of Maharashtra will be from Shiv Sena this time, this gives a different color altogether to this alliance.
This statement stands more true because Shivsena as known from sources has been supporting rebel candidates from BJP !! Who have stood as independents after they were denied party tickets also on a seat in Maharashtra they have pitched a Shivsena Candidate against a BJP Candidate Nitesh Rane, though the anger of Thackrey family with the Rane’s is known to all.
On the other hand Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut has said that Shiv Sena alone will bag more than 100 seats and will be a major partner in the alliance and make Aditya Thackrey the CM of Maharashtra.
Things seem to be heating up within both the camps , specially after both supported rebel candidates from the opposite parties.
The natural alliance of Sena & Bjp which has existed from yearss looks on a shaky ground this time wherein both parties seem to be annoyed with each other in person but have been keeping it under wraps !!!Thus we state so,that the internal rivalry of being one up may cost the Bjp Sena alliance in Maharashtra this time and pave a way for Shivsena to explore new partnerships, after the Assembly election results to be declared on the 24th of this month.
