Mumbai: In a significant development, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray on Friday met his party’s legislators to discuss the political situation in the state.
According to reports, the meeting was convened to apprise the legislators of the government formation process and meetings of Congress-NCP leaders in Delhi.
Thackeray met NCP president Sharad Pawar in Mumbai last night.
Results of the October 21 Assembly polls were declared on October 24 and President’s rule was imposed in the state on November 12 after no party or combine staked claim to form the new government.
The state was plunged into a political crisis after the Sena broke its three-decade-long ties with the BJP after the latter declined to share the chief minister’s post.
For the better part of this week, Delhi was the centre of marathon meetings between top leaders of the NCP and Congress to explore the possibility of forging an alliance with the Shiv Sena, a party whose ideology is poles apart from the duo.
