Amid resentment over seat sharing within Mahayuti, Shiv Sena (Shinde) camp leader urges Modi, Shah to put Maharashtra BJP in line

The Hindu  

Amid smouldering resentment within the Mahayuti allies in Maharashtra over seat sharing, the sabre-rattling between the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and the Bharatiya Janata Party continued with senior Shinde camp leader Ramdas Kadam warning his bigger ally that it should not attempt to deceive them while exhorting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister Amit Shah to “pull up” Maharashtra BJP leaders. Mr. Kadam, a former Cabinet Minister and a four-term MLA from Khed in Konkan region, has been vocal against the BJP staking claim to seats where the sitting MP is from the Shinde-led Shiv Sena faction. BJP respects Sena: Fadnavis Downplaying Mr. Kadam’s outburst, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the BJP had always respected the Shiv Sena. Recently, Mr. Kadam had stridently protested against the Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg Lok Sabha seat being given to BJP leader and Union Minister Narayan Rane after the latter staked claimed to the seat.
