Shiv Sena refused to take the land that the Urban Development ministry offered, while plots are not available in areas of choice of the other two parties, Minister of State for Urban Development Deepa Dasmunshi said in a written reply.
"Shiv Sena Parliamentary Party, Nationalist Congress Party and Shiromani Akali Dal have requested for allotment of land for construction of offices," Dasmunshi said.
"Shiv Sena Parliamentary Party has been offered land in a certain area, but it has been refused. The other two parties have not yet been offered any land as no land is available in the area of their choice," she said.
