Even after three days of results being declared for the Assembly polls in Maharashtra, the BJP and its ally Shiv Sena have not reached on a consensus on power-sharing, thereby delaying government formation in the state.

Continuing to play hardball with “Big Brother”, the Shiv Sena on Saturday demanded a written assurance from BJP over the 50-50 seat-sharing formula in Maharashtra.

A meeting of 56 newly-elected MLAs of the party was held at Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray’s residence ‘Matoshree’, where it was decided that a letter on BJP letterhead and signed by senior leadership must be produced to confirm the 50-50 alliance deal agreed between Thackeray and Home Minister Amit Shah ahead of Lok Sabha polls earlier this year.

The party has also demanded that both the allies should get a chance to run the government for 2.5 years each so that Shiv Sena can also have a chief minister.

“In our meeting, it was decided that like Amit Shah ji had promised 50-50 formula before Lok Sabha polls, similarly both allies should get chance to run the government for 2.5 years each so that Shiv Sena should also have a CM. Uddhav ji should get this assurance in writing from BJP,” Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik.

On Friday, Thackeray reminded his party’s ally to honour the 50:50 BJP-Shiv Sena deal.

The BJP-Sena combine bagged around 160 seats in Maharashtra, way below their expectation of crossing the 200-mark.

After analysing the poll results, where the BJP put up a below-par performance, Shiv Sena said there was no “maha janadesh” and the outcome was in fact, a rap on the knuckles for those high on “arrogance of power”.

Earlier on Sunday, the Shiv Sena warned that the “remote control of power in Maharashtra” lies in its hands, though it has secured a fewer seats when compared to the BJP.

Sena leader Sanjay Raut wrote in his column in the Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana, “Though the Sena has won a fewer seats this time, 56 as compared to last time’s (2014) 63, but it has the remote control of power”.

Meanwhile, posters calling Aaditya Thackeray the “future Chief Minister” have surfaced in parts of Mumbai after the poll results, indicating that Sena workers want him to take the top job despite his father ruling the move-out.
