Bjp Shiv Sena Deal

Thackeray Sena spokesperson Arvind Sawant says "slave" government in Maharashtra "can't say anything" over projects going to neighbouring state

Uddhav Thackeray, the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, has accused the BJP and the Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde of "continuously lying" on the $20 billion Vedanta-Foxconn semiconductor plant that went to Gujarat.

Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray on Saturday hit back at Maharashtra deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis over his "Gujarat is no Pakistan" comment amid a row over the shifting of the Vendanta-Foxconn project to the neighbouring state.

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday asserted that the tripartite Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is the political future of Maharashtra and there is no truth in speculations about an "under the table deal" for a reunion of the BJP and Sena.

Clashes broke out between Shiv Sena and BJP workers in Dadar area here on Wednesday after the youth wing of the BJP took out a protest march against "offensive" remarks in the Sena mouthpiece Saamana about the land deal controversy in Ayodhya.

Dismissing the allegations of illegal land deal between Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray clan and late interior designer Anvay Naik's family, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Friday said that his party will ensure that BJP sits at home for 25 years in Maharashtra.

Sharad Pawar has been pursued by the BJP, which is desperately trying to outwit the Shiv Sena in the race to power in Maharashtra, and the job of President of India is on the table, say sources. The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief has, for now, ruled out any truck with the BJP.

As Union Minister Ramdas Athawale suggested a new power-share deal between the BJP and the Shiv Sena to end the standoff in Maharashtra, Sanjay Raut's response today was - thanks, but no thanks. "He doesn't need to worry about us," said the Shiv Sena leader, asserting that a Sena-led government would soon come to power.

Union Minister Ramdas Athawale today suggested a power-sharing deal between the BJP and Shiv Sena to end the political uncertainty in Maharashtra, currently under President's Rule. Both parties will get a chance to occupy the chief minister's post under the proposed agreement that has already been discussed with Sena leader Sanjay Raut, he said.

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut suggested on Thursday that Amit Shah had not informed Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the "50:50" deal between the allies and that had the BJP chief done so "in time", Maharashtra would have been spared the current government formation mess.

Union minister and BJP leader Nitin Gadkari on Friday said there was no deal between his party and the Shiv Sena over the equal distribution of portfolios, including sharing the post of the chief minister.

Amid a power tussle with the BJP over government formation in Maharashtra, the Shiv Sena today sharpened attack on its ally saying that the "President's rule threat" by BJP minister Sudhir Mungantiwar is an "insult" to the state and people's mandate as it questioned its coalition partner: "Is President in your pocket?"

A farmer from Beed district in Maharashtra has offered to do what neither the Shiv Sena nor the BJP have been able to despite lakhs of farmers struggling to deal with mounting debts and crops destroyed by floods - name a Chief Minister.

BJP MP Sanjay Kakade today claimed that around 45 newly elected Shiv Sena MLAs in Maharashtra are keen on government formation by joining hands with the BJP. The Rajya Sabha member made the claim while speaking to a television channel, amid the ongoing tussle between the ruling allies over forming the next state government.

Post-election tussle between BJP and Shiv Sena likely to push back formation and swearing-in of new Maharashtra government to month-end, with the two parties squabbling over portfolios and the Chief Minister's post
