Mumbai, Dec. 9 -- Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has rejected Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena MLA Aaditya Thackeray's claim that 22 MLAs from the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena will join the BJP soon.
Talking to media persons today, Fadnavis rejected Aaditya Thackeray's claims as "baseless" saying that "mere statements carried no weight".
"Just saying something doesn't help. If such claims are being made, I too can claim that 20 of Aaditya Thackeray's MLAs are ready to join the BJP. Shinde-led Sena MLAs are our allies, and they are the real Shiv Sena. The BJP does not engage in divisive politics," Fadnavis said.
Fadnavis maintained that the BJP-led Mahayuti ruling alliance would emerge stronger despite the controversy.
