Senior Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Tuesday said his party has always practised "politics of truth" and is not hungry for power.
The BJP and its ally Sena, which won 105 and 56 seats respectively in the just concluded Maharashtra Assembly polls, are locked in a bitter tussle over sharing of power in the next state government.
"(Sena president) Uddhav Thackerayji has said we have other options too, but we don't want to do the sin of accepting that alternative...the Shiv Sena has practised politics of truth, the party isnot hungry for power," Raut told reporters here.
Asked about the delay in formation of government in Maharashtra despite the BJP-Sena alliance, he said, "There is no Dushyant in Maharashtra whose father is in jail."
