NAGPUR: The brief meeting between chief minister Devendra Fadnavis of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray in Nagpur's Vidhan Bhavan on Tuesday has unsettled both parties' allies in the ruling Mahayuti and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA).

The meeting is being seen as an attempt by the BJP to build up pressure on the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena at a time when the two parties are at loggerheads over power-sharing.

Similarly, Thackeray's reported lobbying for the post of leader of the opposition is said to be a move to keep the Congress under check, as the latter too has staked a claim to the post on the grounds that it has given the post in the legislative council to the Sena (UBT).
