Mumbai: Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday said that his party has decided to contest nearly 100 seats out of the 403 in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections in 2022, as well as on 20 seats in Goa.

Speaking to the media, Mr Raut said that Shiv Sena may form an alliance in these elections.

According to party sources, Sena was open to an alliance with the Congress since the latter is already its ally in Maharashtra.

Relations between the Shiv Sena and BJP, both of which are on similar ideological pages, have been strained after the formation of the Thackeray government in Maharashtra.

According to a statement, Shiv Sena leaders in Uttar Pradesh held a meeting in Lucknow on Saturday and took a decision to contest from these seats in the state. (UNI)
