Sanjay Raut, A few UP BJP leaders will join Shiv Sena ahead of Lok Sabha 2019 polls

Shiv Sena leader and Maharashtra MP Sanjay Raut has asserted that few best BJP pioneers and ministers in Uttar Pradesh are likely to content on Sena ticket.

"Shivsena's list of 25 candidates for UP for Loksabha polls is ready. Many top leaders, ministers, MPs and MLAs of ruling party's leaders are in contact to challenge on Shivsena Ticket," said the Rajya Sabha MP.

The final selection of names will be chosen by party supremo Uddhav Thackeray, he said.

Raut included that top Sena leaders will before long visit UP and other north Indian states to concrete and extend the party's support base out of Maharashtra.

A week ago, Raut courted controversy subsequent to asserting when Babri Masjid could be decimated in 17 minutes, why it was taking so yearn for a law to assemble a sanctuary there.

"We demolished the Babri Masjid in 17 minutes but for paperwork why it is taking so much time...for drafting a law or law," he told correspondents here in remarks seen as inciting BJP with which its most established saffron partner isn't on great terms over the most recent couple of months

NDA-ally Shiv Sena's chief Thackeray Sunday said the BJP government at the Center "may not last" if the sanctuary was not contructed in Ayodhya and requested that a statute be gotten to clear for its way, cautioning that feelings of Hindus ought not be underestimated.

More than 25,000 Shiv Sena workers arrived from Maharashtra to join party President Thackeray in Ayodhya to press their interest for Ram temple construction.

Shiv Sena activists visited the town for two days and offered supplications at the make-shift temple of Ram Lalla. Thackeray requested that a law be issued to make ready for construction of the temple.
