BJP will mull joining hands with Sena only if Uddhav considers it: Chandrakant Patil

Reacting to the letter controversy, Shiv Sena chief spokesperson Sanjay Raut told The Indian Express that, “The important part of the letter is that it highlights the fact that leaders of the Maha Vikas Aghadi are being unnecessarily harassed. This will have to be studied.”

Meanwhile, Maharashtra BJP President Chandrakant Patil said that the party will give it a thought only if Thackeray considers it.

“Pratap Sarnaik is a Shiv Sena leader and an MLA. He has written a letter to his party chief, calling for an alliance with the BJP. The BJP leadership will consider the matter if Uddhav Thackeray also thinks along the same lines,” Patil was quoted telling The Indian Express.
