BJP and Shiv Sena, the ruling alliance partners in Maharashtra government, are likely to tie-up for the elections to Navi Mumbai and Aurangabad municipal corporations to be held on April 22.

"We feel that having an alliance will benefit both the parties," state BJP unit president Raosaheb Danve told reporters after meeting Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray at the latter's residence 'Matoshree' in suburban Bandra.
