A senior Shiv Sena leader has said, "BJP does not want to give more than 120 seats to Shiv Sena and it is not acceptable to us. Before the alliance was announced in February this year, Uddhavji and BJP President Amit Shah agreed to contest an equal number of seats in the assembly elections. The party's vote share has increased. He said, "On the basis of the image of our leader PM Modi, 18 Shiv Sena leaders could secure their seats in the Lok Sabha.
So we hope that we get more seats than Shiv Sena. This is only in view of the recent trend. "The Shiv Sena is besieging the BJP on many issues. The Shiv Sena is attacking the BJP for demanding the inclusion of Congress and NCP leaders in the BJP and construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya. However, BJP leaders are calling it the bet of Shiv Sena so that it can negotiate on seat sharing.
