BMC Polls: Thackeray Alliance Stalls Over Seat-Sharing, MNS Sets Condition

• Discussions for a Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction) and MNS alliance for BMC elections are ongoing.
• The alliance announcement is stalled due to disagreements over seat-sharing, particularly in Marathi-speaking majority areas.
• MNS, led by Raj Thackeray, insists on resolving seat allocation before making any official alliance announcement.
• There's concern that MNS could suffer if the alliance is announced prematurely without a clear seat-sharing agreement.
• A recent alliance between the Thackeray faction and MNS in Ambernath Municipal Council failed to secure any seats, highlighting potential challenges.

Why It Matters: Thackeray brothers' BMC alliance is stuck on seat-sharing, with MNS demanding resolution before announcement.
