The BJP on Sunday accused its one-time ally Shiv Sena of committing the "sin" of abandoning its founder Bal Thackeray's thoughts of aligning with the BJP by joining hands with the Congress and the NCP.
Addressing a press conference after attending the BJP legislature party meeting here, senior party leader Ashish Shelar said they discussed a strategy to win the impending floor test comfortably.
"The Shiv Sena committed sin of abandoning Bal Thackeray's thoughts of aligning with the BJP," he said.
Shelar also said that a meeting of Independent MLAs backing the BJP will be held separately.
