The Shiv Sena leaders met Koshyari at 5 pm, a Raj Bhavan official said. The development comes at a time when the saffron alliance - BJP and the Sena are engaged in a bitter tug-of-war over the equal distribution of cabinet portfolios. The two parties are also fighting over sharing the term of chief minister's post for 2.5 years each.
