MIRZAPUR: Union Minister Kalraj Misra today claimed that BJP will emerge as the largest party in the upcoming Assembly polls in Maharashtra and said there may be a post-poll alliance with Shiv Sena in the state.

The Union Minister for MSME (micro, small, medium enterprises) expressed his views after paying obeisance at the famous Vindhaychal temple here.

"BJP would emerge as the largest party in Maharashtra in the coming Assembly polls and form government," he said, adding that, his "party may have a post-poll alliance with the Shiv Sena after the Assembly elections."
