Advani in Ahmedabad replies questions on breakup of BJP-Shiv Sena alliance(Video)

Ahmedabad, 2 October 2014

BJP leader and Gandhinagar MP LK Advani was today in Ahmedabad Gujarat to kick start city level cleanliness drive.

Replying to question asked by media persons on break-up of BJP-Shiv Sena alliance, Shri Advani said, “I would have been happier, if this (alliance) would not have been broken. But, this is also right that people from our party were saying that the seat-sharing formula was not proper and we (BJP) should get more seats,”

“When I was informed about this (alliance break-up), as (Sena chief ) Uddhav Thackeray called me up and told me, then I talked to Gadkariji and he (Nitin Gadkari) told me that he was dealing with the issue,” he said.

Advani also said that he was not involved in the BJP and Sena’s seat-sharing talks. “I do not know much about this matter as I did not get involved in it,” he said.

Shri Advani was of opinion that if partners think BJP has more responsibility, then BJP should worry about it. Unlike BJP, its regional allies don’t have a chance to form government in centre, and they have this opportunity available only in their region.
