Arithmetic in favor of Shiv Sena? | Debate

In a series of tweets, Sawant said that prior to the Lok Sabha election, a formula was decided on power-sharing between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-Sena.
As per indications, the Sena is likely to secure the outside support of the third largest party - Nationalist Congress Party (55 MLAs), and the fourth-largest Congress (44) - in its bid to form the government.

"It was acceptable to both sides, but by rejecting it, an attempt is made to portray the Sena as a liar. This is shocking and a blot on the state's self-respect ('swabhiman')," Sawant said.
