Raut also asserted that the two are going to meet again in a couple of days. In the recent past, differences have cropped up in the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance in Maharashtra, where Sena has taken jibes at BJP, and has expressed its anger towards the party via its mouthpiece ‘Saamana’. The Wednesday meeting which had hinted at turning things around has now left several question marks after Raut’s statement.
