Shiv Sena on Monday emerged as the single largest party by winning 52 seats in the keenly-fought Kalyan-Dombivali Municipal Corporation (KDMC) elections, but has fallen short of majority.
In an editorial in its mouthpiece 'Saamna', Sena has reached out to his estranged ally Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) asserting that 'let bygones be bygones.'
"A lot of accusation and counter accusations were made and lot of things said during campaigning. But let bygones be bygones. We should focus of development of Kalyan now," Sena said.
Soon after the results, Uddhav Thackeray had attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party claiming that the entire Maharashtra cabinet (including Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis) had turned up to campaign for candidates of the NDA major, but Shiv Sena was successful in winning people's confidence.
The BJP remained at the second spot in the KDMC elections by winning 42 seats, sharply improving its earlier tally of nine, in the 122-member body.
The Congress-NCP combine was relegated to the fourth position with six seats behind the Raj Thackeray-led MNS which bagged nine seats.
Reports also said that Shiv Sena had also been negotiating with Raj Thackeray-led MNS.
