Amid war of words between allies, Sena ministers call on CM

As the ruling allies Shiv Sena and BJP are hitting out at each other freely ahead of civic polls in Mumbai, Sena ministers today called on Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at his official residence `Varsha' here late in the night.

Sena ministers Subhash Desai, Diwakar Raote, Ramdas Kadam and Deepak Kesarkar met the CM.

One of the ministers said later they met Fadnavis to press for a loan waiver for farmers on the lines of the scheme promised by BJP in the poll-bound Uttar Pradesh.

Meanwhile, according to a party source, Sena leaders are divided over whether to pull out of the BJP-led government.

He added that those who are in favour of the party withdrawing its support to the BJP government may submit their resignation letters to Sena president at the party's final election rally at Bandra-Kurla Complex on February 18.
