Amid uncertainty over forging an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party for high-stake Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation polls, which were announced on Wednesday, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray has said he has not received any proposal on seat-sharing so far even as he took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The Sena chief said though he expects the seat-sharing talks to begin on Wednesday he is also prepared to face any 'eventuality'.

"Earlier, I used to start my address saying bhaiyon aur behno (brothers and sisters) or mitron (friends), but now I don't use these terms as people have started running away when they hear this. Nowadays, the chai wala is the only one heard speaking," he said without taking Modi's name while addressing a gathering in Mumbai.

"Had I been negative about an alliance (with the BJP), I would not have sent party leaders to hold initial parleys. I have a formula on seat sharing but I have received no response as yet," he said.

Uddhav said the decision to partner with BJP for zilla parishad polls will be taken by local leaders.
