A week later, no headway in govt formation as BJP, Sena spar
A week after announcement of results for the October 21 Assembly elections, there appeared no headway in government formation, with allies BJP and Shiv Sena still at loggerheads over the quantum of power sharing.
Aaditya Thackeray on Thursday evening asked Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari to declare a wet drought in the state owing to unseasonal rain in various parts.
Heavy post-monsoon showers in various areas in Maharashtra have prompted this demand, Aaditya told reporters after meeting Koshyari at Raj Bhavan with Sena leaders and legislators in tow.
Aaditya and other Sena leaders submitted a memorandum to the governor, seeking "all possible help" to farmers and fishermen affected by heavy rains.
Asked about the delay in government formation in Maharashtra after the October 21 elections, Aaditya said his party has given all authority in the matter to Sena chief and his father Uddhav Thackeray.
The Shiv Sena on Thursday again indicated that it had not given up its claim on the post of chief minister, saying that equal sharing of power must mean sharing of the top post too.
Adopting a harsh tone, it accused the BJP of enacting "second act" of the "use and throw" policy while dealing with its ally.
The saffron allies Sena and BJP are locked in a dispute over the power-sharing formula for the new government.
Whatever was decided when the two parties stitched up alliance before the Lok Sabha elections should be implemented, the Sena mouthpiece `Saamana' said in an editorial.
Sena MP Sanjay Raut described as rumours reports that his party has softened its stand on the issue of sharing power in Maharashtra with ruling alliance partner BJP.
Raut described reports in a section of media alluding to the 'softening of stand' by the Sena as hearsay. Maharashtra minister Eknath Shinde was on Thursday elected the party's leader in the state legislature.
At the meeting, the sources said, Uddhav Thackeray was apparently dismayed by CM Devendra Fadnavis' remarks that sharing the CM's post did not figure in the talks between top Sena and BJP leaders ahead of this year's Lok Sabha polls.
