The week-long stalemate over sharing of seats between the BJP and the Shiv Sena, which had threatened the future of the 25-year-old alliance ahead of the crucial Assembly elections in Maharashtra, ended on Tuesday.

Sources said the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena will contest 151 seats while the BJP has been given 130 seats for the elections to the 288-member Maharashtra Assembly.

Sena group leader in Assembly Subhash Desai, party spokesperson and Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Raut arrived at the BJP office -- Vasant Smriti Bhavan-- in Dadar in central Mumbai around noon and met top BJP leaders on the alliance issue.


BJP's Maharashtra poll in-charge Om Mathur and state party president Devendra Fadnavis were among those present at the meeting.
