The two parties, which were in alliance since 1989, contested the 2014 assembly polls separately after falling out over seat sharing. The BJP later emerged as the single-largest party, but was short of majority. The Sena chipped in with its 63 seats and entered a post-poll partnership.
The Sena and the BJP remained in an uneasy alliance for the next five years, with the Uddhav Thackeray-led party taking potshots at the ruling party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi over a host of issues.
The Sena has been demanding a 50:50 seat division, but the BJP is not ready to concede half the seats. The BJP leadership believes it will get majority in the state following its stupendous show in the national election.
Elections will be held in Maharashtra on October 21 and the results will be declared on October 24.
