We are not in an alliance with any major party but have partnered with some smaller groups. We will also contest the Lok Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh on 15 to 20 seats,” he said.Raut, who is the editor of Shiv Sena’s mouthpiece “Saamana”, also alleged that nominations of his party’s candidates were rejected in Uttar Pradesh on the directives of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).”Around 15 nominations of our candidates were cancelled in Uttar Pradesh at the behest of the BJP because it is afraid of losing at the hands of our candidates. We will continue with our efforts and contest the polls,” he said.
