BJP gave unconditional support to Shiv Sena after 2017 BMC polls despite winning big: Kesarkar

Kesarkar's remarks are viewed as a veiled dig at Thackeray who had alleged that the BJP did not keep its 2019 promise of rotating the post of Maharashtra chief minister and severed ties with the long-term ally post the 2019 Assembly elections

The Bharatiya Janata Party offered unconditional support to Shiv Sena after the 2017 Mumbai civic polls despite its winning tally just four seats short of the total seats won by the Uddhav Thackeray-led party, a Sena MLA said on Saturday.

Eknath Shinde faction's spokesperson Deepak Kesarkar also said the BJP didn't demand at that time that the post of Mayor or Deputy Mayor of Mumbai be given to it on a rotational basis.
