Shiv Sena to field Lok Sabha polls' candidates in UP, Bihar and Delhi
21 March 2014 4:57 PM GMT
'We have our alliance with BJP in Maharashtra, not in UP. We will strive to expand our party in other parts of the country. Shiv Sena will field 20 candidates in Uttar Pradesh,' Sena spokesperson Sanjay Raut told reporters.
Similarly, the Uddhav Thackeray-led party will also contest the Lok Sabha elections in Bihar (on 5 seats) and Delhi (7 seats), said Raut.
Shiv Sena is said to be miffed due to the recent strain developed in the relations between Uddhav and Gadkari over the latter's luncheon meeting with the MNS chief in Mumbai on 3 March.
Meanwhile, Uddhav's son and Yuva Sena president Aaditya Thackeray in a tweet said that Sena would not field candidates against BJP's prime ministerial nominee Modi (who will contest LS election from Varanasi in UP) and saffron party chief Rajnath Singh (contesting from Lucknow).
'Those who even believe such funny rumours, well, I feel sorry for them. Therefore, obv not contesting in Varanasi and Lucknow,' Aaditya tweeted.
