In a surprising move, BJP's Maharashtra ally Shiv Sena  has not invited them for its 50th anniversary celebrations on Sunday. When asked about this, a Shiv Sena spokesperson said, "We have not invited the BJP because it is an internal celebration of our party which is aimed at gearing up our party workers. Recently, BJP held its National Executive meet in Allahabad for which none of its allies were invited. Similarly, every party has its own celebrations, meetings which is only for its members."
