Maharashtra chief Devendra Fadnavis announced today the break-up of the 25-year-old alliance with the Shiv Sena blaming the "inflexible" approach to seat-sharing.
''Decision to part ways taken with a heavy heart. 'Mahayuti' (grand alliance) sans Sena to contest the polls; we will not criticise Shiv Sena during campaign and remain friends". Said Fadnavis.
This follows failure of talks between the two parties after Shiv Sena refused to accept BJP's demand for contesting seats more than last Assembly elections.
