Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said on Friday that the "false promises" made by the BJP to the Shiv Sena might be the reason behind the political standoff in Maharashtra even after two weeks of the election result.
Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot said "personal ambitions" were the reason for the rift between the Bharatiya Janata Party and Shiv Sena, accusing both the parties of making fun of the mandate given to them.
On Shiv Sena legislators being holed up in a Mumbai hotel to avoid possible poaching, Pilot said: "They are themselves running away fearing their own allies. This is a big joke with democracy."
