BJP and Shiv Sena Negotiate Power Sharing

BJP and Shiv Sena Negotiate Power Sharing

The BJP and Shiv Sena are trying to decide how to share power in the cities they won together in the recent elections.

The BJP wants to control the mayor and important committees in Mumbai, while the Shiv Sena wants to share the mayor's job.

In Thane, the Shiv Sena is in charge, and in Kalyan-Dombivli and Ulhasnagar, they are trying to split the power equally.

Meanwhile, four members from the Uddhav Thackeray faction of the Shiv Sena have gone missing, and their party thinks the Shinde faction might be trying to get them to switch sides.
