With the Shiv Sena seeming firm on its demand of sharing the chief minister’s post in the next Maharashtra government, a BJP minister on Monday said some of his party leaders are willing for re-election in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The BJP leaders expressed this view during a review meeting held in Dhule district on Sunday, state Tourism and FDA Minister Jaykumar Rawal told a television channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The party workers said senior leaders of the BJP should not have forged an alliance (with the Sena)…give us a chance again, we will contest again and win this time,” said Rawal, who is considered close to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meeting in Dhule was attended by several BJP leaders, workers and candidates who contested the recent Assembly polls, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Many of them are angry as we could not contest in some seats due to pact with the Sena and lost with a thin margin in some segments,” the minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The BJP and its ally Shiv Sena are caught in a stalemate over the chief minister’s post, with the Sena demanding an equal division of the top post’s tenure and the BJP rejecting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike the last Assembly elections, the BJP and the Shiv Sena this time fought elections in alliance with each other. The BJP won 105 seats and the Shiv Sena 56.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
