BJP-Sena delock

While Shiv Sena has reiterated that it will accept only 50:50 formula, BJP has denied of ever having agreed to such a formula reportedly offering 13 cabinet portfolios to Sena while keeping 26 for its ministers. Apart from Sena's portfolio demand, party has demanded a sharing of 2.5 years in CM post too. This has been refused by CM Devendra Fnavis, stating, ' next govt will be formed under a BJP CM.' With respite to delock, Mahayuti alliance's combined tally of 161 (BJP- 105, Sena -56) is yet to be put to use to form a government.
