“The BJP and Shiv Sena leaders are not ready to give us even those seats on which we had a lead of around 20,000 votes in the last assembly elections in 2009. However, now we have understood their conspiracies and maintain peace and have a healthy dialogue with each other,” said Shetti.

Speaking to mid-day, Shetti said it is the history of both these parties to provoke the four small parties in the Mahayuti against each other.
