“Shah gave this message at a meeting with Maharashtra BJP MPs in Delhi on Wednesday,” said an MP who was present. Mumbai: Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah has reportedly asked the party’s Maharashtra MPs to be prepared to contest the ensuing Lok Sabha 2019 elections alone in the state. “The BJP president told us that efforts are on to have an alliance with the Sena, but if that did not materialise, we should be prepared to fight the polls alone,” he said. A senior Maharashtra BJP leader told PTI that Shah was “very clear” in telling the party MPs from the state to “be prepared for going it alone” in case no tie-up happens with the Shiv Sena.
