A day after extending outside support to Shiv Sena in the Mayoral election to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis held a news conference in Mumbai on Sunday, which saw his entire cabinet including Shiv Sena members in attendance. Industries Minister Subhas Desai and Transport Minister Diwakar Raote, both senior members from Shiv Sena, were seated on Fadnavis' both sides.
Other Sena ministers also occupied front row seats. When asked about this display of bonhomie at an otherwise routine presser, held on the eve of every Legislative session, Fadnavis smiled and asked: "Do you guys have a problem?" When pressed further, the Chief Minister said: "We are together in the government".
