BJP Meets Governor, Sena Moves MLAs To Hotel, Maharashtra Waits | Read

The BJP met with the Maharashtra Governor today while its ally Shiv Sena moved its flock to a hotel in Mumbai, each accusing the other of delay while hurtling towards the deadline for government formation in the state. Rattled by reports that the BJP has claimed the support of 182 MLAs, the Shiv Sena today took urgent measures to sequester its MLAs. An editorial in Saamana alleged that MLAs were being offered "bags of cash". After a meeting called by Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray at his home "Matoshree", the party moved all its MLAs - and some independents who supporting it - to hotel Rangsharda in Bandra.
