Will give support to BJP only if asked to: Uddhav Thackeray

The possibility of estranged allies Shiv Sena and BJP of coming together can’t be ruled out as Uddhav Thackeray gave enough hint of supporting a BJP-led government  if approached for the same.

Speaking after his party won 60 seats in the Assembly elections, Uddhav said, “I have not got any proposal from BJP to join the government in the state, but if somebody thinks our support is needed, they can approach us.”

On being asked whether Shiv Sena will back BJP in forming the government, Uddhav said ‘these are just possibilities at the moment’.

Uddhav evaded giving a clear reply on whether he would take the first step to approach BJP to join government in Maharashtra. “What if I approach them and they say no and tell me we already have NCP’s support?”
