Rubbishing speculations that the BJP would go solo in the Assembly polls because of the number of opposition candidates entering the party, CM Devendra Fadnavis said on Wednesday that the Shiv Sena would be taken along as an ally. The two will set a new winning record on their way to retaining power in the state, he added.

Saying that his party wasn't a dharamshala (shelter home), the CM said the days of blackmailing leaders using government agencies or alluring them were long gone.
