Shiv Sena attacks BJP again, says 'no Dushyant in Maharashtra whose father in jail'
Mumbai/IBNS: In another attack on the bigger ally Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after the Maharashtra poll results, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said "there is no Dushyant (Dushyant Chautala) here whose father is in jail", media report said.
Raut said this referring to Jannayak Janshakti Party (JJP) leader Dushyant Chautala's support to the BJP to form the Haryana government after the saffron party failed to get the majority despite emerging as the single largest party.
Dushyant's father Ajay along with his father O P Chautala are serving jail term in connection with the teachers' recruitment scam.
After the seats tally of the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance dipped a bit in the assembly polls this year, the Sena is pushing for its 50 per cent ministerial berths and rotational Chief Minister.
As the poll results were declared on last Thursday, the BJP and Sena together won 161 seats with the saffron party getting 105 of them.
On Thursday itself, Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray hinted at the 50:50 deal.
Thackeray said, "The Maharashtra Chief Minister will be chosen as per the pre-determined formula. We will sit with the BJP for that."
The Sena may push its young leader Aaditya Thackeray, who has won from Worli by over 67,000 votes, to become the Chief Minister as well.
