The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance will contest the upcoming local body elections in the state together but there will be friendly fights where a tie-up does not materialise, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Wednesday, reported the PTI.

CM Fadnavis was speaking to reporters here after launching irrigation and power generation projects.

Elections to several municipal corporations and other local bodies including the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) of Mumbai are pending for the last three years.
