New Delhi: The impasse between allies Bharatiya Janata Party and Shiv Sena over seat sharing for Maharashtra Assembly elections is likely to continue for some more time with the former's chief Amit Shah calling off his Mumbai visit yet again.
Sources said that the decision was taken after talk between Sena and BJP over division of the 288 Assembly seats failed on Wednesday.
Shah was to meet Sena and other partners of the 'Mahayuti' (grand alliance) on Thursday. He had cancelled his Mumbai visit on Wednesday too when the meeting of Mahayuti leaders on Tuesday night bore no results.
Talks have been on between the two parties over seat sharing. In its final offer, Shiv Sena kept 151 seats for itself while offering 130 seats to BJP and just 7 seats to its four smaller allies.
The saffron combine has four junior partners Raju Shetti's Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghtana, Rashtriya Samaj Paksha led by Mahadeo Janker, Vinayak Mete's Shivsangram and Ramdas Athawale's RPI(A).
