BMC Elections: BJP's 52-Seat Offer Stuns Shinde Sena, Solo Fight Looms Large

• BJP offered Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) only 52 seats for BMC elections, far below their demand of 125.
• The Shinde faction is considering contesting all 227 seats alone if a fair seat distribution is not achieved.
• Shiv Sena leaders are firm on not compromising on BMC seat-sharing, unlike previous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections.
• High enthusiasm seen in the Shinde group, with 2,400 candidates interviewed for 227 seats.
• Eknath Shinde advises patience, expecting a positive resolution through discussions with Devendra Fadnavis.

Why It Matters: BJP's low seat offer for BMC polls has angered Shinde Sena, pushing them towards a solo contest.
