Union Minister Anant Geete, Shiv Sena's lone face in the Narendra Modi government, today indicated that despite the split with BJP in Maharashtra, his party was in no mood to pull out at the central level.
"BJP and Shiv Sena contested the Lok Sabha elections together as a part of NDA. Therefore, though Shiv Sena is sitting in the opposition in Maharashtra, we have a different stand at the Centre. But the final call will be taken by the party president (Uddhav Thackeray)," he said.
Geete was talking to reporters after inaugurating his new office in suburban Mumbai.
