New Delhi: Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday made his party's intentions clear over the government formation with its major political ally, the Bharatiya Janata Party, after the Maharashtra Assembly election results gave the alliance a winning mandate.

Addressing a press conference, the Sena chief stated that the time has come to implement the 50-50 formula that was previously decided with the BJP.

He sent out a timely reminder to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Home Minister Amit Shah over their promise to his party regarding 50-50 govt formation in a press conference during the Lok Sabha election.

The Sena chief further added that discussions between the BJP and Shiv Sena should  be carried out to decide that who would become the chief minister of Maharashtra. He also thanked the people of Maharashtra for their support.

Uddhav Thackeray said, "I thank the people of Maharashtra. The public has voted consciously. The time has come to implement the formula that was decided. If Amit ji wants, he will come here once again. Recall what the BJP and Amit Shah had promised and said in the press conference during the Lok Sabha election."
