A day after announcing to go solo in the 2019 Lok Sabha and Maharashtra Assembly polls, the Shiv Sena on Wednesday blamed the Bharatiya Janata Party for its decision, alleging that the allies were being given a cold shoulder in the National Democratic Alliance . Affirming that it has decided on its way forward, the Sena cited an example of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, saying the Maratha warrior king went ahead to fulfil his pledge for ‘Swarjya’ at a time when people used to question as to from where he would get resources to take on Mughal rulers. The Sena said why should eyebrows be raised now over its decision when the allies were being sidelined by the BJP in setting its target of winning 380 plus seats in the next general elections.
