Summary:
In yet another twist in the ongoing cold war between the Shiv Sena and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Yuva Sena leader Varun Sardesai has claimed that the two parties will get to share the chief minister's post for two-and-half years each after the Assembly polls are concluded later in the year. While Sena leaders claim that the party will get the CM's post after the polls, this has been vehemently denied by senior BJP ministers. The BJP can set aside Assembly segments from their share for their smaller allies," said a senior Sena leader. The BJP- Sena aliance swept 41 of the 48 seats in the state. He said the parties will share the designation for two and a half years each after the Assembly polls get over later in the year.
