As a tussle among the alliance continues, an MLA from Shiv Sena Pratap Sainik has written to Chief Minister Uddhav asking him to ally back with old partners, BJP. The letter read out:

Describing him as the “number one” Chief Minister in the country, he lauded Thackeray for his successful handling of the COVID-19 situation in the state. Pratap Sarnaik added, “Congress is adopting the stance of going solo. On the other hand, NCP is poaching leaders and workers of Shiv Sena instead of other parties. I also want to bring to your notice that some Ministers and officers have joined hands with the ruling party at the Centre without your knowledge to ensure that the central investigative agencies do not go after them”. 

The letter added, “The Municipal Corporation elections in Mumbai, Thane and other cities are scheduled next year. Even though our alliance with BJP no longer exists, personal connection and affection for many BJP leaders remain the same for many Shiv Sena leaders. It will be wise to repair the relationship before it gets worse. I feel that this will benefit workers like me and Shiv Sena in the future. Saheb, you will take an appropriate decision.”
