Mumbai, Oct 19 (IBNS): With the Bharatiya Janata Party leading in Maharashtra as the counting for the polls of 288-member Assembly proceeded on Sunday, party leader and Union Minister Prakash Javedkar is not ruling out a possible alliance with the Shiv Sena.
Although Javedkar did not answer to this question directly, he never denied on any possibility of alliance formation with their estranged partner-Shiv Sena.
 
The Union Minister said that he is certain the Bharatiya Janata Party will be forming the government in Maharashtra.
 
"We are forming the government. Once the result comes out, we will be able to take a final call. But the message is clear, people are voting for good government and progress," Javedkar told mediapersons.
 
"People have reposed their faith in the Narendra Modi government," said he
 
According to the latest trends, the BJP is leading in 111 seats in the 288-member Maharashtra assembly.
 
The Shiv Sena is following with 56 seats.
 
Meanwhile, the BJP leaders are keeping the channels of forming an alliance with Shiv Sena open, said reports.
 
Even, Shiv Sena spokesperson Sanjau Raut said party chief Uddhav Thackeray will take the final decision on the post-poll alliance with the BJP.
 
Earlier on Saturday, the Shiv Sena showed “White Flag” to its estranged ally BJP, and even hinted at post-poll alliance, courtesy -- exit poll results which tilted in favour of the latter.
