With the BJP keeping the Shiv Sena guessing, party chief Uddhav Thackeray chose to skip a function attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi here on Saturday.

Mr, Modi arrived in the afternoon for the inauguration of Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital for which Mr. Thackeray too had an invitation. On Sunday, Shiv Sena MPs are due to attend a high tea for NDA constituents hosted by Mr. Modi. Mr. Thackeray has not been invited for the function, which is restricted to MPs.

While party leaders concede that an alliance with the Sena is most likely, a section is still floating the option of a minority government to pressure the Sena further.
