Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress alliance 'unrealistic, unnatural', says JP Nadda

Targeting the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress ruling coalition in Maharashtra, BJP president JP Nadda on Sunday said that it was an "unrealistic and unnatural" alliance, and insisted that the BJP would return to power in Maharashtra on its own in the next elections.

"The Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress alliance is an unrealistic and unnatural alliance. It's up to them how they run the government but the number of incidents of disrespecting Shivaji Maharaj and Veer Savarkar will increase. However, the king here will remain merely a spectator," JP Nadda said at the BJP state executive meeting.

The BJP chief said that the Devendra Fadnavis government did remarkable work for the development of Maharashtra. "In the education sector, Devendra Fadnavis brought the state's rank to 3rd position, which was earlier 17th," he added.
