Congress-NCP mock coming together of Shiv Sena and BJP

December 04, 2014 19:28

Reacting to the patch-up between the estranged allies Shiv Sena and Bharatiya Janata Party, the opposition Nationalist Congress Party called it a mockery of democracy and said mere numbers would not ensure stability of the BJP-led government.

"The kind of words used against each other by leaders of both the parties in the last one month was for everyone to see. This is nothing but a mockery of democracy. For the first time in the state's history, the main, 63-MLA-stong opposition party has walked over to the treasury benches within a month of new government taking over," said state NCP chief Sunil Tatkare.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced this morning that Sena was joining the government.
