BJP president Amit Shah today met Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray. Shah, along with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, visited Thackeray's residence in suburban Bandra and held a close-door meeting. The meeting comes a day after the BJP chief, who is in Mumbai on a three-day visit to strengthen the party organisation in the state, said his party would consult its allies before finalising the NDA's presidential candidate.Shiv Sena recently suggested the name of M S Swaminathan, the father of India's Green Revolution, as its presidential choice. The Shiv Sena had earlier said it may choose an "independent" path in the election to the highest constitutional office. It had backed Congress nominees, Pratibha Patil and Pranab Mukherjee, in the last two presidential elections.
