Talk didn't stop due to Shiv Sena, says Sanjay Raut

"There was no talk anytime before me over sharing the post of CM for two-and-half years each between the two parties... (Union Minister) Nitin Gadkari and I spoke with BJP President Amit Shah who also said there was no such commitment on this," he told the media after submitting his resignation as CM to Governor B.S. Koshyari.

Fadnavis also asserted that the state will soon get a BJP government.
