| BJP president Amit Shah reportedly made a last-minute change of plan to accommodate Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray in his Mumbai itinerary, as the long-time allies spoke on the phone this morning and pulled back from a bitter confrontation over seat-sharing for the upcoming Maharashtra polls.
Mr Shah, who is visiting Mumbai for the first time today since taking charge of the BJP, will meet Mr Thackeray in the evening, sources have told NDTV.
The Sena had been upset at being told earlier that Amit Shah would not meet their chief even though he would visit three Ganesh festival venues and attend a lunch hosted by young BJP MP Poonam Mahajan.
In response to the "snub", the Sena announced last night that Mr Thackeray would address the press on the party's "vision document" on Thursday afternoon, at the same time as Mr Shah's meeting with BJP workers.
The alliance has seen bitter squabbling over seat-sharing for the Maharashtra elections due later this year. After their massive victory in the national election in May, the BJP has been demanding more seats on grounds that a 'Mode wave' powered the sweep; the alliance won 42 of Maharashtra's 48 Lok Sabha seats, reducing the Nationalist Congress Party to four and the Congress to two seats.
