Mumbai, Dec. 2 -- Dismissing the high voltage, dramatic campaign by Mahayuti partners Shiv Sena and BJP against each other till hours before campaigning ended on Monday for the first phase of local body polls, chief minister and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis and his deputy and Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde stressed that the parties were not fighting against each other and would work together as one unit after the polls. "We are two different parties but we are not divided. It is true that whatever happened during the election campaign was not good for democracy.We need to introspect," Fadnavis told reporters on Monday. Speaking along similar lines, Shinde said neither he nor Fadnavis had spoken against each other. "We have been speaking for development," he said. Tensions between the two allies have escalated over the past two weeks, especially in Sindhudurg district where Shiv Sena MLA Nilesh Rane is facing his younger brother and BJP MLA Nitesh Rane in the Kankavali Municipal Council election. On November 27, Nilesh Rane barged into a BJP worker's house and summoned the local police to seize cash found on the premises. The money, Nilesh alleged, was stashed away to distribute among voters, setting off a verbal spat with his brother which continued till the closing hours of campaigning. On Monday, another tussle between the parties came to the fore in Sangola in Solapur, when the poll commission raided the house of Shiv Sena leader and former MLA Shahaji Patil and some other local Sena leaders. The Shiv Sena alleged the raid was due to Patil attacking BJP leader and Solapur guardian minister Jaykumar Gore during a campaign rally. "We feel the raid was because of Patil's criticism of Gore during a campaign rally. Our leader Eknath Shinde has taken very serious cognisance," said Sena social justice minister Sanjay Shirsat said. Fadnavis, however, tried to downplay the tension between two allies, saying the BJP would look into the tension that brewed during campaigning after the election was over. "The picture of Rane vs Rane that emerged during campaigning was very unfortunate," he said. Shinde, on the other hand, downplayed Sanjay Shirsat's statement on the raid against Shahaji Patil in Solapur, saying it was not serious. "The raid is a routine process by the election commission. An enquiry will be conducted by the poll panel, but there is nothing serious to take cognisance of," he said. Other leaders too said that things would return to normal after the polls. "The ruling parties have occupied the opposition's space, so they have attacked each other. This will result in them winning most seats, which will help them bury the hatchet after polls," a BJP leader said....
