Meanwhile, Yuva Sena chief Aaditya Thackeray, who is Sena president Uddhav Thackeray's elder son, is likely to be declared as the party nominee from Worli in a party rally on Monday. On Sunday, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray distributed A and B forms to incumbent legislators and on seats that the Sena has traditionally contested from. These are seats which the BJP has not laid a claim on," said a senior Sena leader. Another Shiv Sena leader said that while the BJP was amenable to an alliance with the Sena, the point of conflict lay in the seat-sharing and power-sharing agreement. "The BJP may give us up to 128 seats and retain the position of a senior ally, but we are worried if the party's cadre will work for Shiv Sena nominees," said a senior Shiv Sena leader.
