“I also conveyed to my party leaders in the state that they should not induct anyone from the BJP, and the same promise has been given by the BJP as well. We have decided not to do anything that will create trouble in the alliance. We are very much clear since the beginning that state-level issues will be sorted at the state level by sitting together,” said Shinde.

“I am a very positive person who always keeps a positive approach. As an NDA alliance partner, I was invited in Bihar for the oath-taking ceremony of Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, so before going to Bihar, I went to Delhi to meet Union Minister Amit Shah to congratulate him on the NDA victory in Bihar," he said.

Shinde also added that in the local body elections, most of the candidates from the Mahayuti are contesting against each other, but they decided that they will not use any low-level language in the campaign that will hurt the alliance and strain the relationship.
