Sena snaps ties with BJP for Kolhapur civic polls

August 03, 2015 13:12

The Shiv Sena has called off its alliance with the BJP in Kolhapur in Maharashtra and will contest the upcoming municipal corporation polls there on its own.

The election to the 81-member Kolhapur civic body is scheduled to be held later this year.

The split in Kolhapur comes in the backdrop of Sena president Uddhav Thackeray recently saying that his party is keen on winning the Assembly polls in Maharashtra on its own and that they had extended support to BJP in 2014 elections to avoid political instability.
