The first day of the three-day state legislature session proved to be a hectic one, especially for the Shiv Sena, which seems to be having a hard time getting anything it wants.

After threatening, cajoling and lobbying unsuccessfully with the BJP for more berths in the Narendra Modi Cabinet at the Centre and for key ministries in the Devendra Fadnavis Cabinet in the state, the Sena staked claim to the leader of the opposition post in the state Assembly yesterday, making it clear that it was going to sit in the opposition.
