The Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam on Friday said that the outcome of the BEST Employees’ Credit Society election proved that the alliance between Uddhav Thackeray’s Sena (UBT) and Raj Thackeray’s MNS carried no impact.

The joint panel of the two parties suffered a complete defeat in the polls earlier this week. The Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport (BEST) operates as the transport and power supply arm of the BMC.

"The election has shown that even if the Thackeray brothers, who have abandoned Balasaheb Thackeray's ideology for power and who frequently change their stand, come together, it will not make any difference to Mumbai's politics," Nirupam stated, reported news agency PTI.
