"Shiv Sena's Remarks Against PM Unacceptable," Says Devendra Fadnavis

Devendra Fadnavis resigned as Maharashtra Chief Minister on Friday with no sign of a new government and his BJP and its ally Shiv Sena no closer to forming one together. Mr Fadnavis met with Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari to hand in his resignation hours before the midnight deadline for government formation. Addressing the media, Mr Fadnavis thanked his party, colleagues and even the Shiv Sena. In the same breath, he questioned whether the Shiv Sena, which had not spared Prime Minister Narendra Modi from its attacks, was worth continuing an alliance with.
