Shiv Sena and BJP came together to rule Maharashtra in mid-90s with Sena playing the dominant role in the state politics.

BJP pulled out of the alliance to emerge as the single largest party in the last Assembly elections. Sena and BJP, however, cobbled an alliance after the polls to form the government with BJP bagging the CM's post. The two parties also contested the BMC elections separately.
