Shiv Sena to stay in NDA: Shiv Sena
Mumbai, Sept 30 (IBNS): Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday said that his party will not quit NDA as of now, media reported.
According to reports, media quoted Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday as saying that as of now, there is no proposal to pull out of the NDA government.
If they leave the NDA then all 42 MPs from Maharashtra will have to resign because they all got elected as NDA candidates, he said.
Following the fallout of BJP-Shiv Sena coalition in Maharashtra, Shiv sena MP and Union Heavy Industries Minister Anant Geete announced his retirement from the Government.
Thackeray on Monday has said, Geete would formally tender his resignation after Prime Minister Modi returns from the US.

On the other hand, BJP expressed confidence on the prospects of the Maharashtra’s Assembly elections due next month.
Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said the party's fight is against Congress and NCP and their bad governance in the state.
Javadekar said, "Our fight is against the Congress and NCP, and the bad governance.”
