MUMBAI: Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Saturday said the parties in the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) would contest all the local self-government body elections together to defeat the BJP.
On a day’s tour to Nashik to conduct an organisational review of the Shiv Sena, Raut said the MVA had understood the mood of the people, who were vexed with the BJP and its policies. He said the recently held legislative council election had demonstrated it.
“We have, therefore, decided to be together in all the local self-governing body elections to stop the BJP,” he said.
He took a dig at the ‘Mission Mumbai’ of the BJP, saying the campaign was not going to help the party as all the constituents of the MVA were bound by a common thought.
“We have come together for the development of the state,” Raut said.
He said each constituent would be accommodated in the seat-sharing formula of the MVA.
