Shiv Sena’s Support to BJP : a Clever Political Move? By Deepak Parvatiyar October 28, 2014 After a brief and dramatic separation just before the Maharashtra Assembly elections , the BJP and the Shiv Sena are courting each other in full public glare for the past few days at the altar of power! As I write this piece, the Sena has blinked at the Lotus that has bloomed in glory in Maharashtra politics. Yet, what makes their love-hate-love story more twisty and twirly is the BJP’s overlooking of the advances from a formidable suitor, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)! Shiv Sena-BJP Coalition : Happy Re-Union? The Lotus did prefer to wait in earnest to re-engage its estranged partner of 25 years for a reunion. But can their coming together once again be termed as a happy reunion of two estranged lovers or is it a shrewd act of political manipulations in the theatre of the absurd?
