Maharashtra BJP President Chandrakant Patil Hints at BJP-MNS Alliance

News 18  

Maharashtra BJP President Chandrakant Patil has hinted at a possible alliance of his party with Maharashtra Navnirman Sena in future. The BJP-MNS alliance rumour has gained steam in the state after the meeting of Patil with MNS chief Raj Thackeray on July 18. However, a few days ago, former Maharashtra Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis had declared openly that there was absolutely ‘no question of an alliance with the MNS’ unless they changed their stance of rigid regional chauvinism. Responding to Fadnavis on the issue of anti-immigrants stance, Raj Thackeray said that the MNS’ stance was that the immigrants should not encroach upon the land of the ‘bhumiputras’, or vice-versa.
