Mumbai: The agreements and disagreements between BJP and Shiv Sena ministers at the weekly Cabinet meeting, held every Tuesday afternoon at Mantralaya today gave way to egg curry, 'modak' and 'usal sabzi' which the council of ministers relished.
The joint lunch of BJP and Sena ministers was an idea of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis who had asked his ministerial colleagues to give the 'snehbhojan' on Cabinet meet day a try.
Many ministers brought tiffins to the Mantralaya, and those who didn't bring any, also joined in.
It remains to be seen if this lunch diplomacy improves the "strained" relations between ministers of the two parties.
Mr Fadnavis had suggested that the lunch spread represents a variety of cuisines from different parts of Maharashtra, asking ministers belonging to various regions to carry food prepared in their respective homes, an official said.
So, every Tuesday, one can expect all kinds of delicious veg and non-veg dishes ranging from fish from Konkan, white and red (rassa) curry from Kolhapur, Saoji mutton/chicken, patodi rassa (Nagpur), Varhadi hot non-vegetarian preparations from western Vidarbha and Khandeshi Mutton/chicken, Baingan ka Bharta from north Maharashtra.
