According to sources, the Shiv Sena had demanded an equal 24-24 seat sharing distributed between it and the BJP. However, the Sena also wanted the Palgahar seat, which the BJP had won in a bypoll in May last year.
The BJP however is not willing to give up Palghar and so has instead agreed to give Shiv Sena a total of 25 seats. The BJP itself would then contest on 23 seats.
