'Selfishness is a bad thing', says RSS chief on BJP-Shiv Sena fallout in Maharashtra

Nagpur: In a veiled reference to the recent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-Shiv Sena fallout over differences on government formation in Maharashtra, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said that both sides will face loss if they "are going to fight over a matter".

"Everybody knows that both of them will face loss if they are going to fight over a matter," he said.

"Everyone knows that selfishness is a bad thing but very few people give up their selfishness. Take the example of the country or of individuals," he added.

These sharp comments from the RSS chief came while addressing an event in Nagpur on Tuesday morning.

Shiv Sena and BJP, which contested the assembly polls together, parted ways after the conflict over power-sharing in the state. Shiv Sena is currently in parley with NCP and Congress to form a government.

While the BJP emerged as the single-largest party in Maharashtra assembly polls with 105 seats, the NCP and Congress have 54 and 44 MLAs, respectively, in the state Assembly.

Shiv Sena MPs went to sit in Opposition: Pralhad Joshi

Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi

New Delhi: Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi on Tuesday rejected Shiv Sena's criticism that he had shifted their MPs to the opposition benches in the Parliament.

Joshi said, "We did not make them sit in the opposition, they did it themselves."

Joshi was responding to an editorial in Shiv Sena's mouthpiece Sammna today where the party criticised him for making their MPs sit on the opposition side in both houses of the Parliament.

In the editorial, Shiv Sena also hit out at former ally BJP for removing them from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

On Monday, after Shiv Sena MPs were allotted seats on the opposition side in the Parliament, senior Sena leader Sanjay Raut hit out at the BJP stating that NDA was not the property of one party, but some were 'considering themselves God'.

Strong, stable Shiv Sena-led government to be formed in Maharashtra: Sanjay Raut

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut asserted that a strong and stable government led by his party will be formed in Maharashtra

New Delhi: A day after meeting Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar, senior Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Tuesday asserted that a strong and stable government led by his party will be formed in Maharashtra soon.

"A Shiv Sena-led government will be formed in Maharashtra soon. It will be a stable, strong and effective government. We want Uddhav Thackerey to lead the government," Raut said during a press conference here.

He said that the Shiv Sena led government will have the support of 170 MLAs in the assembly.

"Shiv Sena is the largest party in the country. We have 18 MP and we are going to form a government in Maharashtra. We don't need anyone's interference. We will have the support of 170 MLAs on the floor," Raut said.

Slamming Union minister and RPI leader Ram Das Athawale for trying to negotiate a three-year and two-year term as Chief Minister in the state between BJP and Shiv Sena, Raut said: "He is a Minister of State in the central government. He should focus on himself and not worry about Shiv Sena."

He said that there is a consensus across party lines that the President's rule should end in the state.

"I talked about the formation of government in the meeting with NCP leader Sharad Pawar yesterday. There is a consensus across party lines be it Shiv Sena, NCP, Congress or BJP that a government should be formed in the state," he added.

This comes a day after Raut met Pawar at his residence, merely hours after the NCP chief met Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi.

Raut had said that he met Pawar and asked him to apprise Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the farmers' distress in the state due to untimely rains.

President's rule came into effect in Maharashtra after parties failed to form a government in the state.

Shiv Sena and BJP, which contested the assembly polls together, parted ways after the conflict over power-sharing in the state. Shiv Sena is currently in parley with NCP and Congress to form a government.
