| The Shiv Sena is keeping the BJP-led central government, that it is a part of, on tenterhooks, insisting on Monday evening that it has not decided which way it will vote on the crucial land acquisition bill in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. The bill was discussed in the House on Monday.
We have given our suggestions to the Prime Minister in writing. We will act according to the direction of party chief Uddhav Thackeray," party leader Sanjay Raut told PTI, indicating that the bill in its present form is not acceptable to the party.
2The Shiv Sena is the second largest constituent of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance or NDA - it has 18 members in the Lower House and three in the Rajya Sabha.
3While the BJP is not worried about numbers in the Lower House, it has almost the entire opposition ranged against the legislation and will struggle to pass it in the Rajya Sabha, where it is in a minority.
4The Congress and other parties have accused the Narendra Modi government of making "pro-corporate" and "anti-farmers" changes in the law to acquire land for projects. The Congress has said it will support no changes to the law its government brought in 2013.
5Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadanvis - who has several Shiv Sena members in his council of ministers - were reportedly tasked with reaching out to the Sena leadership to seek the ally's support.
