Now, Mahayuti allies walk out
26 Sept 2014 5:29 AM IST
After several rounds of dispute, though the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Shiv Sena (SS) managed to solemnise their alliance, the arrangement of seats has eased out the remaining components of the Mahayuti (grand alliance), which was formalised at the behest of late Union minister Gopinath Munde ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
On Wednesday three small parties Shetkari Swabhiman Paksha (SSP), Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP) and the Shiv Sangram decided to quit the alliance accusing the two major partners of back-stabbing. ‘Shiv Sena and BJP have stabbed us in the back. SSP, RSP and Shiv Sangram have decided to leave Mahayuti (grand alliance) and contest the assembly polls jointly,’ SSP leader Sadabhau Khot said here. He said they were brought into the grand alliance by late BJP leader Gopinath Munde, ‘We trusted him and came into ‘Mahayuti’. But our house is being burnt while trying to douse fire in their houses.’
