On Sunday, the Shiv Sena, by sending Rajya Sabha MP Anil Desai to Delhi for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet expansion and then by calling him back from the Delhi airport itself made things worse, thus ending any scope of rapprochement with the BJP in the state. The BJP considered the incident a direct insult to the prime minister. In another instance of gross indecisiveness and lack of direction, despite the bitter breaking of the alliance Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray did not ask party leader and Union Minister Anant Geete to resign from the NDA government. The Sena is yet to take a call on its status in the NDA. Sena leader Ramdas Kadam said on Wednesday that a call on Geete would be taken soon. Fadnavis’s swearing-in was yet another occasion, where Sena’s indecisiveness was exposed. After announcing that it would boycott the grand function, Uddhav made a surprise appearance at the Wankhede following a series of calls from BJP leaders like Arun Jaitley and Amit Shah.
