BJP may choose to go it alone

Mr Thackeray has shown no inclination to visit Delhi so far
Mumbai: Asked if Shiv Sena MP Vinayak Raut thought the BJP wanted to form a government without the Sena’s support, Mr Raut said that would be their decision. “Mr Thackeray is keenly observing every development. He is well poised to take a decision that will be good for the future of the Sena,” he said.
There had been unconfirmed reports that Mr Thackeray would fly to New Delhi to meet Mr Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah during Diwali. However, that did not happen, and Mr Thackeray has shown no inclination to visit Delhi so far.
Meanwhile, there were strong indications on Saturday that BJP may form a government on its own with NCP’s outside support. “It (a coalition government) seems unlikely. The sentiment in BJP is that they want to go alone. All MLAs and workers are strictly against forming an alliance with Shiv Sena.” a top party leader said.
