Party making all efforts to ensure BJP-Shiv Sena govt is formed: Munganiwar

In Maharashtra, senior BJP leader and Environment minister Sudhir Mungantiwar today said state BJP President Chandrakant Patil and he will meet Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari tomorrow. <br />'' <br />'' Speaking to reporters after a meeting of BJP's core committee leaders in Mumbai, Mr. Munganiwar said the party is making all efforts to ensure that the BJP-Shiv Sena government is formed at the earliest. He said the mandate is for the saffron alliance, and BJP will ensure that people of Maharashtra have no reason to be disappointed.<br />'' <br />'' AIR correspondent reports that with just two days left for the state assembly's term to end, it is expected that BJP will stake claim to form the government. <br />'' <br />'' BJP had emerged as the single largest party in the polls, securing 105 sets in the 288-member Maharashtra assembly. Its pre-poll alliance partner, Shiv Sena had won 56 seats. Together, they have 161 seats, way above the halfway mark of 145.<br />'' <br />'' In case the Governor invites BJP to form the government, the party will get at least 15 days' time to convince Shiv Sena to give up its demand for rotational Chief Minister's post and join the government.<br />'' <br />'' Meanwhile, Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray has called a meeting of all its elected MLAs tomorrow to discuss the political impasse. Shiv Sena's efforts to cobble up support from Congress and NCP are dimming by the day, with NCP Chief Sharad Pawar today clarifying that his party will play the role of a responsible opposition.<br />''
