The Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress gathered their MLAs at a five-star hotel in Mumbai this evening for a show of strength and administered a "oath of allegiance" hours after the three parties staked claim to power. "I will not fall prey to any offer. I will not help the BJP in anyway. I will not indulge in any anti-party activities," the MLAs repeated, with a palm-out salute as they pledged not to betray their parties.
