Mumbai: Shiv Sena supremo Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday asserted the need for a 50:50 formula for the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance to be implemented in Maharashtra.

He said that the Maharashtra mandate was an eye-opener for many.
He further said that the Sena contested less seats on BJP's request. "We can't be so accommodating always," he added.
