Shiv Sena will contest all upcoming elections with BJP, says Ramtek MP Krupal Tumane
Nagpur: Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has debunked media reports of BJP’s plan to enter into a pre-poll alliance with Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). On political rumours, Fadnavis said, “I also keep enjoying ‘kite flying’ sessions by people. People nowadays keep saying anything, interpreting it according to their understanding.”

He said the party is committed to an alliance with CM Eknath Shinde’s group. “The original Shiv Sena, which is Eknanth Shinde’s party, will be our alliance partner. Together, we will fight the elections and also secure victory,” said Fadnavis.
Reacting to BJP State President Chandrashekhar Bawankule’s tour of Baramati being dubbed as ‘Mission Baramati’ in political circles, Fadnavis said that all constituencies are equal for his party. “BJP has Mission India. The state BJP unit has Mission Maharashtra too. And since Baramati is in Maharashtra, it’s part of the mission,” said Fadnavis.
He also downplayed reporters’ question on whether Baramati was being considered as the last frontier. “There’s nothing like that. For BJP, every seat is important,” said Fadnavis.
