As the Narendra Modi government went in for a cabinet reshuffle, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said yesterday that the NDA is "almost dead" and that BJP remembers it only when it needs some support.

Though a long-time ally of the BJP, Sena has often been at loggerheads with the senior partner. Its lone member in the Union ministry is Heavy Industries Minister Anant Geete.
