One call and Sena146;s back with BJP

Uddhav, reportedly replied, 8220;But, your people in Maharashtra are saying something else.8221; In an apparent reference to BJP general secretary Gopinath Munde and Maharashtra BJP president Nitin Gadkari, he said: 8220;They are talking of a decision about the Shiv Sena after July 19. Have you talked to them as well?8221; he asked sarcastically.

Uddhav also drew the BJP chief8217;s attention to the August 15 deadline set by Maharashtra BJP leaders for a 8220;decision8221; on BJP-Sena ties and Gadkari8217;s talk of BJP contesting the next Assembly elections in Maharashtra on its own.

8220;Mujhe sab khabar hai,8221; Rajnath Singh reportedly told Uddhav in response and sought to downplay the issue by laughing it away.

As the two leaders concluded their talk, Uddhav made it clear to the BJP president that 8220;there is no problem as far as the Sena is concerned8221;.

When reached for comments, Sena General Secretary and Saamana executive editor Sanjay Raut told The Indian Express, 8220;Everything has blown over and we have no problem working together with the BJP.8221;
