The Shiv Sena MLAs will meet on Sunday afternoon to decide whether to support the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state government in Maharashtra or not. The MLAs will also chose the leader of the legislature party.
The Sena leadership on Saturday had clarified that it will not participate in today's expansion of central cabinet, if the BJP fails to assure the Sena's share in the state government.
The party has recommended its MP Anil Desai's name for the central cabinet expansion. Mr. Desai has left for Delhi from Mumbai and is likely to hold talks with the BJP leadership.
