Now that MNSu00a0chief Raj Thackeray has announced his list on Sunday, Shiv Sena would be doing so on January 31, hours before the deadline.u00a0

"There are many rebels and the seats would not be announced soon as many people are aspiring for them. The list may be announced by Uddhavji on Tuesday afternoon to avert any problems by not allotting seats to some," informed a senior Sena leader, on condition of anonymity.u00a0

He added that around 80 forms were taken by the party, which were to be given to confirmed candidates but have not been distributed yet. Interestingly, MNS that had conducted a writtenu00a0test and even interviewed candidates, put on display the marks of successful aspirants.u00a0
