Though senior leaders of BJP have asked party workers to keep Shiv Sena in healthy terms to ensure proper functioning of the government and the state, not all want the alliance to continue for the upcoming Municipal Corporation, local and district-level polls.

Aurangabad and some parts of Marathwada were a part of this state in the past. His stand was supported by many party workers.
