Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on June 5 said the Shiv Sena and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will contest all future elections together, including civic polls.
Mr. Shinde, whose Shiv Sena shares power with the BJP in Maharashtra, in a tweet also informed that he and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Sunday night.
“During the meeting, it was decided that all future elections (including the Lok Sabha, Assembly and civic bodies) will be contested jointly by the Shiv Sena and BJP. We will contest and win the elections with majority,” the CM tweeted along with a photograph of his meeting with Mr. Shah.
Mr. Shinde and Mr. Fadnavis went to Delhi on Sunday evening and held a meeting with the Home Minister.
