We are not asking, we are giving: Shiv Sena
Mumbai, Sept 19 (IBNS): Giving a "befitting reply" to a 12-hour deadline set by Bharatiya Janata Party on seat sharing for polls, ally Shiv Sena on Friday shot back saying, their party gives and others take it.
Taking the verbal battle a level higher, Shiv Sena reacted strongly to its coalition partner for 25 years.
“In Maharashtra, the Shiv Sena is a party that gives, not a party that takes. We are not asking. We are giving. They should think about what they are asking,” media reports quoted Sena spokesperson Sanjay Raut as saying.
He also said that, Shiv Sena is not going to compromise with Maharashtra’s self-respect, or the party’s self-respect.
“It is up to them to accept or not,” Raut added.
The reaction came hours after BJP gave a 12-hour deadline to its Shiv Sena to decide on the issue of tough seat-sharing negotiation for the Maharashtra Assembly polls scheduled next month.
BJP said the party wants to contest a minimum of 130 of the 288 seats in the Maharashtra assembly.
BJP also demanded the chief ministerial post.
Both of the demands are dismissed by Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray that led to a coalition impasse.
The ‘Mahayuti’ or grand coalition partners in NDA locked horns over seat sharing deadlock going on for weeks.
