Seeking to put aside speculation about a rift over Maharashtra assembly poll seat-sharing in Shiv Sena-BJP alliance, BJP president Amit Shah met Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray in Mumbai on Thursday night.

On his first visit to Mumbai after taking over as BJP president, Shah drove to Matoshree, the Thackeray family residence in suburban Bandra and met Uddhav. Shah arrived at 10 pm, almost half an hour behind schedule.
