Union Minister Raosaheb Danve on Sunday said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has given power to the local leadership to decide on alliances for civic and rural polls in Maharashtra.

Replying to a query on Maharashtra minister Abadul Sattar saying he was not in favour of an alliance with the BJP in his Sillod constituency in Aurangabad, Danve said if alliances don't work out, then his party will contest on its own.
