Now smaller allies not happy with BJP-Sena seat-sharing formula

Mumbai, Sep 24 (IBNS): With the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiv Sena inching towards a seat-sharing agreement, the smaller allies in the coalition now rejected the new formula saying it gave them too few seats for the Maharashtra Assembly polls scheduled next month, reports said.

The new seat-sharing agreement involved 151 seats for the Shiv Sena and 130 for the BJP leaving only seven Assembly segments to the smaller allies.

The four other parties which comprise the Mahayuthi are Swabhimani Shetkari Sangathan, Rashtriya Samaj Paksha, Republican Party of India (Athavale) and Shiv Sangram.

Mahayuthi is the Shiv Sena and BJP's jumbo six-party rainbow coalition in Maharashtra.
