Ahead of the Maharashtra local body elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and MLA Ravi Rana’s Yuva Swabhiman Party have parted ways ahead of the January 15 Amravati civic polls, bringing an end to their pre-poll alliance, reported the PTI.

Confirming the development on Sunday, Amravati BJP district president Nitin Dhande said the party had withdrawn its support from the six seats earlier allotted to the Yuva Swabhiman Party.
