BJP To Contest All 48 Seats In Maharashtra BJP?

 BJP  leadership is ready to contest all 48 seats. Ajit Pawar and Eknath Shinde have been asked to merge their parties with BJP or prepare themselves for contesting elections separately source says. BJP internal survey submitted a report that Ajit Pawar and Eknath Shinde could not dent the vote bank of NCP and ShivSena, respectively source says. The voters are still with Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray source says. 24 central government ministers have been given the responsibility of two constituencies each to supervise the election process in the constituencies source says. In the last 2019, BJP with ShivSena bagged 41 seats, but now both are apart, source says. Anurag Thakur is in charge of the Thane seat from where the son of Eknath Shinde is sitting MP and expects to be nominated in this coming elections, but BJP is sure that unless Eknath Shinde merges his party with BJP, the question of considering his name does not arise and preparing for the constituency with new candidates source says.
