After Shiv Sena's no response to the proposal sent by BJP on seat sharing, the saffron party seems to have decided to brace it up for the final confrontation with its oldest ally. BJP on Thursday gave Shiv Sena an ultimatum to agree on a seat-sharing formula for the coming Assembly elections or face a breakdown of the alliance.

Having jacked up its demand for contesting 135 of the 288 seats, which has been rejected by Shiv Sena, senior BJP leaders have communicated to Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray to decide by this evening whether his party was willing to conform to a "mutual and respectable" seat-sharing formula.

The BJP's ultimatum comes against the backdrop of party President Amit Shah's tough talk today morning in Kolhapur in Maharashtra that there will be no compromise at the cost of self-respect.

Shah said the ‘Mahayuti’ (grand alliance) needs to stand strong and united to overthrow the 15-year-old Congress-NCP government in Maharashtra, in the upcoming assembly elections.

“Friends, BJP government is going to be formed this time in Maharashtra,” Shah said, addressing a meeting of party workers at the airport here, after flying in from Mumbai.

Shah's tough talk and claim that BJP is going to form government in Maharashtra is sure to annoy Shiv Sena and blurs the chances of truce between the old partners.

Top BJP sources said that the party was upset that Shiv Sena, an ally of 25 years, has not given any response to the proposal sent by it on the higher number of seats it wanted to contest in the coming elections.

In the 2009 elections, the BJP had contested 119 and the Sena 169 seats. However, this time the alliance "Mahayuti" has been broad based with the inclusion of four more parties --RPI (Athawle), Rashtriya Samaj Paksha, Swabhimani Shetkari Paksha and Loksangram.
