Dump BJP and we will think of alliance: Prithviraj to Sena

Aurangabad: Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan on Tuesday said if the Shiv Sena wanted to join hands with the anti-BJP parties, it would have to first snap its ties with the NDA and quit power.
The former chief minister indicated the Shiv Sena can have a formal alliance with the Congress, subject to approval by his party's central leadership.
"The Shiv Sena is in power with the BJP today and if it separates and wishes to come with the anti-BJP parties, we would think and a proposal (for alliance) may be sent to the high command in Delhi," he told reporters.
Chavan was here in Central Maharashtra to attend a party convention.
The Sena, the oldest constituent of the NDA, recently announced that it would contest the 2019 Maharashtra assembly and Lok Sabha elections on its own.
The Uddhav Thackeray-led party is currently part of the BJP-led governments at the Centre and in Maharashtra.
Chavan said all parties which are against the Sangh ideology should come together to defeat the BJP.
