You may have the seat and our candidate, too. The BJP is adopting this policy to find a way out for resolving a seat-sharing stalemate. On Tuesday, one of its ex-ministers joined the Ajit Pawar faction of the Nationalist Congress Party, and the other will join the Shiv Sena (Shinde) on Wednesday to be its official candidate. The constituencies the two exports will contest have gone to the BJP allies. BJP leader and Sindhudurg-Ratnagiri MP, Narayan Rane`s son Nilesh, also an ex-MP, will be Shinde Sena`s official candidate in Kudal in Sindhudurg district. He will be entering the Sena on Wednesday.

The BJP also gave its former cabinet minister Rajkumar Badole a green signal two formally shift to Ajit Pawar`s NCP, which will field him from Morgaon Arjuni in Gondia district. Badole was inducted into NCP on Tuesday. There have been talks of the BJP loaning some candidates to its allies in Mumbai, too.
