The deadlock on government formation in Maharashtra continues. Meanwhile, after the joint press conference of Congress and NCP, Uddhav Thackeray said that Shiv Sena will continue to talk to Congress and NCP to form the government.
The three parties are planning to work out a formula for forming government in Maharashtra. According to the sources, the Shiv Sena and NCP will be Chief Minister for two-and-a-half years and Deputy Chief Minister will be Congress for full 5 years. After a joint press conference, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray said that if BJP and Mehbooba Mufti can work together by resolving ideological differences, then in the current situation their party will find a formula to work with Congress and NCP.
Uddhav Thackeray also said that he has sought information from BJP about the agreement with PDP and Nitish, so that they can understand how different ideological parties come together. In response to a question, Uddhav also said that the BJP has ended the options, not his party. Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray had said on Tuesday that Bharatiya Janata Party BJP is still contacting his party through unofficial means to form government in Maharashtra. Thackeray said, "They are making vague and different proposals every time. But we have decided to go with the Congress and Nationalist Congress Party".
