Mumbai, October 13: The Opposition Shiv Sena-BJP alliance, out of power for 10 years in Maharashtra, today expressed confidence that it would get a majority in the Assembly elections in the state.
Terming the voting percentage satisfactory, BJP state president Nitin Gadkari claimed the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance would get over 140 seats.
“The polling percentage was satisfactory and our alliance is confident of getting over 140 seats in the state,” Gadkari told PTI.
The increase in polling percentage for the Assembly polls compared to Lok Sabha polls was a reaction among people against the Congress-NCP Government, he claimed and added that the ruling alliance would not get more than 110 seats.
Senior Sena leader Manohar Joshi also hoped that Sena-BJP saffron alliance would get the seats required for a majority
