Mumbai: As Bharatiya Janata Party and Shiv Sena try to mend their severed ties, Subramaniam Swamy came calling at Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray's residence on Saturday.
Although, Swamy called it a personal meet, he said that the two parties should come together for Hindutva. "I will speak to Amit Shah and to Nitin Gadkari. The two should come together for the sake of Hindutva," Swamy told reporters.
"This is a personal visit, I have known all three generations of Thackerays. I went to congratulate Uddhav on winning 63 seats without Bala Saheb. I am not authorised officially to talk to Sena but I believe there should be no division of Hindutva votes," the BJP leader said.
BJP is understood to have offered five Cabinet berths and an equal number of Minister of State posts to Shiv Sena in its government in Maharashtra as the estranged allies on Friday began talks to chalk out a power- sharing formula after days of acrimony between the allies.
