No Mediation, Sena Will Form Government Soon In State: Sanjay Raut Responds To Athawale ‘Power-Sharing’ Formula
Mumbai: Amid the ongoing tussle between BJP and its former ally Shiv Sena over govt formation in Maharashtra State. Well hitting out on BJP Sena leader Sanjay Raut said that mediation is not needed as a Shiv Sena-led government will be formed soon in Maharashtra.
An alliance will be formed with an absolute majority of 170. He doesn’t need to worry about us”, the Sena leader said while speaking to reporters on Tuesday.
His reaction comes a day after Athawale stated that Sena’s ‘simple compromise’ could end the Maharashtra deadlock.
“I talked to Sanjay Raut Ji about a compromise. I suggested formula of three years’ chief ministership for the BJP and two years for the Shiv Sena, to which he said that the Shiv Sena could think about it if the BJP agrees. I will discuss this with the BJP now,” ANI had quoted the minister as saying yesterday.
Notably, the Shiv Sena and the BJP are at loggerheads ever since the results of Maharashtra Assembly election 2019 were declared on October 24. While the Sena remained adamant on its 50:50 formula, the BJP claimed that there was no 50:50 agreement between the saffron allies. This claim ensued acrimonious bickering between the BJP and Shiv Sena following which their decades-old coalition teetered on the breaking point.
