He said that the only option in the state is a BJP-Shiv Sena government.

He stressed that there is only one option in the present political scenario, which is that the BJP and Shiv Sena should form the government. There is no other option other than this to avoid President's rule.
Pawar said he had no clue about the figure of 175 MLAs, that the Shiv Sena has claimed having support of.
Asserting that the NCP and Congress will be playing the role of opposition he said, “Congress and NCP have been given mandate to be responsible opposition."
