BJP support for Raj Thackeray or Pawar can affect our alliance, says Shiv Sena

Mumbai:  Former BJP president Nitin Gadkari's offer to Raj Thackeray not to field candidates in Lok Sabha polls may not have elicited any response from the MNS chief but has ruffled feathers of ally Shiv

Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana' today quoted party president Uddhav Thackeray saying there was a “communication gap” within the BJP.

“There is a communication gap in BJP. Those within the BJP who are praising Congress-NCP leaders are responsible for creating a communication gap. It is the internal matter of the BJP but the Mahayuti is determined to unseat the Congress-NCP government,” Uddhav said.

MNS group leader in state Assembly Bala Nandgaonkar said Raj Thackeray would declare the party's stance on Gadkari's offer at an appropriate time.

NCP leader and Home Minister R R Patil ruled out BJP-MNS tie up, saying “people in UP and Bihar won't accept BJP supporting a known anti-migrant outfit.”
