Amid rumblings in the Opposition INDIA alliance, the Shiv Sena (UBT) on November 6 said the coalition has been formed to unseat the “dictatorial regime” at the Centre while politics in States is different.
An editorial in the Sena (UBT) mouthpiece 'Saamana' also said the Assembly polls scheduled this month in five States is a "dress rehearsal" for the Lok Sabha polls next year.
It said the Congress is a major party in all the five poll-bound States - Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Mizoram.
