New Delhi: A day after NCP supremo Sharad Pawar met Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and remained non-committal towards Shiv Sena over government formation in Maharashtra, Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Tuesday said took to Twitter and said, 'one should amend his ways and not his plans, in order to achieve something in life'. He shared a tweet on his official Twitter handle, which read in Hindi, "Agar zindagi mein kuch paana ho to tareeke badlo iraade nahi." Raut also wrote 'Jai Maharashtra' at the bottom of his tweet, which hints his social media post was related to the ongoing political tussle in the state.


A day earlier, putting a question mark on a Shiv Sena-Congress-NCP government formation in the state, Sharad Pawar on Monday remained non-committal as regards forging an alliance with his political rival after he held talks with Sonia Gandhi in the national capital, saying they did not discuss about supporting any party. After which Sanjay Raut met the Maratha strongman and exuded confidence that the state would soon get a government led by his party.

Nationalist Congress Party chief Pawar, who flew down from Mumbai to ostensibly discuss the Common Minimum Programme of a Sena-Congress-NCP government, on Monday evening appeared reluctant, saying repeatedly that they did not discuss government formation. "I had a meeting with Sonia Gandhi, and A.K. Antony was present. I briefed her about the political situation of the state (Maharashtra)," said Pawar. He said the NCP and Congress leaders will meet again to discuss the issues and then report to Sonia Gandhi.

Pawar also ruled out any tie-up with the BJP and said that during the meeting supporting the Shiv Sena was not discussed.

Speaking to media outside Parliament, Pawar said, "BJP-Shiv Sena fought together, we (NCP) and Congress fought together in the elections. They have to choose their path and we will do our politics."

However, two days ago in Mumbai Pawar had stated firmly that the process to form government had started and it would be a stable government that would last its full five-year term.

The BJP and Shiv Sena contested the October 21 Assembly polls together, bagging 105 of the 288 seats while Shiv Sena won 56 seats. However, the alliance fell apart after Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray demanded rotational chief ministerial post, a demand rejected by the BJP.On the other hand, the Congress and the NCP won 44 and 54 seats, respectively in the state.
