Bjp Shiv Sena  

 After BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis took oath as the chief minister of Maharashtra, the Congress in the state have taken all their MLAs to a resort in Bhopal. Sources said that the Shiv Sena have shifted their MLAs to Jaipur. 

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar said that BJP-Shiv Sena fought on one side and Congress-NCP fought the election on the other, and stated that each should choose their path in forming government in Maharashtra

Speaking to MyNation, BJP chief spokesperson K Krishna Saagar Rao said that Shiv Sena is trying to join hands with the opportunistic Congress and NCP as they are driven by the thirst for power. He further explained how the Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP lack on working in sync towards the welfare of people of Maharashtra.
 

"Before elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and I said many times in public that if our alliance (BJP-Shiv Sena) wins, then Devendra Fadnavis will be the CM. No one objected back then," said Amit Shah breaking his silence over the political deadlock in Maharashtra.

By the end of the day, on Monday, the Shiv Sena had lost quite a bit. It was out of the NDA, lost a minister at the Centre and still did not make much progress in forming the government in Maharashtra.
 

Shiv Sena is adamant on the chief minister's post and equal Cabinet seats in Maharashtra. BJP is maintaining that there was no such agreement with the Sena. If there is no solution by the end of the day, Maharashtra will have no other choice than President's rule.

In the recent Maharashtra Assembly election, the BJP and its ally Shiv Sena joined hands to come to power in the state. However, the saffron party won the election with the lead and hence decided to run the government all by themselves.

According to reports, Shiv Sena has allegedly said that it could claim to form the government if BJP could not prove majority on the floor of the Assembly, as it has the second-largest number of MLAs. 

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut has expressed confidence that the party may be able to gather the required numbers to form a stable government in Maharashtra. The BJP and Shiv Sena are unable to come to a consensus while Congress is currently on “wait and watch” mode.      

New options to form the government may emerge if the Shiv Sena decides to join hands with the Congress and the NCP, else the BJP may form a minority government like it did in 2014. For Shiv Sena, taking the support of NCP or Congress has its own complications as the two parties will never approve Shiv Sena's core ideas like Hindutva and Ram temple among others.
