Jalna : Maharashtra minister Abdul Sattar on Thursday claimed that when he was in the Congress earlier, party leader Ashok Chavan had met Eknath Shinde with a proposal to forge an alliance with the Shiv Sena in the state, when the latter was in power with the BJP in 2014.
His statement came in the wake of some regional news channels reporting Chavan's "revelation" that Shinde, who is currently the state chief minister, was part of the delegation that had met him with a proposal to form a Sena-Congress alliance government.
As per the reports, Chavan also claimed that Shinde had come with a proposal to snap ties with the BJP, after which the former had asked him to consult Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar and if he agreed, he (Chavan) would talk to the Congress's central leadership, but nothing happened after that.
