Shiv Sena tears into NCP over coalition issue with BJP
The NCP played spoiler by offering external support to the saffron brigade. BJP also never rejected the proposal and apparently put off a decision on the issue.
An editorial in the Sena mouthpiece Saamna said: “The NCP's overnight somersault is driven by selfish intentions. Scam-tainted parties and leaders are trying to whitewash their image by aligning with the 'rising sun'... that won't help clean the muck they have on them.”
The BJP won altogether 123 Assembly seats in the state falling short of a majority in Maharashtra by 22 seats.
“All we can hope and pray for is Maharashtra's future doesn't get sullied by these tainted elements. As for the rest, each one is free to take own decision,” the editorial said.
