Mumbai, Jan 28 (UNI) A day after the Shiv Sena announced its decision to go solo in upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) election, Union Minister of State for Social Justice and RPI-A chief Ramdas Athawale has expressed his party's displeasure over the snapping of 25-year-old alliance between the BJP and the Sena. Talking to mediapersons here yesterday, Mr Athawale said that his party Republican Party of India (RPI-A) will remain with the BJP in the upcoming election to ten Municipal Corporations as well as other local bodies election in the state. He demanded 40 to 45 seats for RPI in BMC election as against paltry 29 seats given to his party by BJP-Sena in 2012 election. 'In ten municipal corporation and 25 district council elections, RPI wants satisfactory seats. If they fail to get adequate number of seats, the party has decided to fight alone on that places,' he added while refusing to have a truck with either the Congress or Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).
