Amidst growing tension between the BJP and Shiv Sena over the Chief Ministerial post and seat sharing formula for the October 15 Assembly Elections in Maharashtra, BJP General Secretary Rajiv Pratap Rudy will meet party leaders in Mumbai today.

According to BJP sources, Rudy may also meet Shiv Sena President Udhdhav Thackeray. Since the seat sharing talks began with Sena, BJP has been demanding more seats in the assembly; however Sena has been constantly denying any seat compromise with its old alley.

Recently Udhdhav Thackeray made remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressing displeasure, Thackrey had said that Modi wave has failed to show up in certain states. Claiming credit for major seats win in Maharashtra in the recently held Lok sabha polls, Udhdhav stated that Modi wave has failed to give due share to its ally Sena.

Angry over Thackeray’s comments, Maharashtra Unit of BJP yesterday stated that its grassroots workers do not want any seat sharing talks with Sena. However, the BJP sources today said that they do not want to disturb the alliance with Sena, however, the party is to set certain conditions for the alliance.
