‘BJP is lying’

“There is not point of proposals and all. When the alliance was declared, it happened in front of BJP’s Amit Shah, Devendra Fadnavis and they said that everything will be distributed equally. But, after elections, BJP changed their tune,” he said.
Sanjay Raut also said there have been no talks held between Shiv Sena and BJP after the poll results, adding that the latter is “lying”.
“BJP is lying. There have been no talks with BJP. Why should we talk if formula was decided? If they don’t want to implement formula, they don’t know any such formula and they are lying on camera. No talks with them at all right now,” Sanjay Raut said.

Oath-taking at Wankhede?

With no clarity on Maharashtra government formation, the BJP had earlier booked the Wankhede Stadium for November 5 for the swearing-in ceremony.
Reacting to this, Sanjay Raut said: “See if they have majority let them do it at Wankhede Stadium or where they have sent Chandrayaan-2, let them do it there. What is stopping them from doing it? But, nine days have passed since the results and the government is still not formed. We also want government to be formed. Maharashtra wants stability.”
“Till now I have not seen anyone waiting for the tenure to get over. And the oath-taking ceremony is before the term gets over. And November 9 is the last day of this government. I think till last breath, till last hour Devendra Fadnavis will stay CM. After that, what Devendra Fadnavis and Governor will do, we don’t know.”
The Shiv Sena has been locked in a bitter battle with the BJP over sharing of power since the results of the assembly elections were declared on October 24.
BJP with 105 seats and 15 Independents and Shiv Sena with 56 seats and 7 independents are very well in the majority and in a position to form the government in Maharashtra. The simple majority mark in the house of 288 is 145.
However, both — Shiv Sena and BJP — have been locked in a tussle over “kaun banega mukhyamantri”.
