The BJP and its ally in Maharashtra, the Nationalist Congress Party, seem to have hit a rocky road after their rivals, the INDIA alliance, won more Lok Sabha seats in the state. The two parties on Thursday engaged in a war of words over an article in Organiser, a weekly known to be close to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The article had criticised the BJP for contesting the elections along with Ajit Pawar's NCP.
The INDIA bloc won 30 seats in the recently held Lok Sabha elections. The BJP and its allies won 17, of which NCP scored only one. Maharashtra sends second-highest representatives to the Lok Sabha - 48 - only next to Uttar Pradesh's 80.
According to reports, the BJP has launched an internal survey to assess if they should contest alone in the Assembly elections to be held later this year.
