Mumbai: BJP and Shiv Sena (Shinde) are exploring whether it is possible to have an electoral tie-up with Maharashtra Navnirman Sena.

On Tuesday, MNS leaders Bala Nandgaonkar, Nitin Sardesai and Sandeep Deshpande met BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis at the latter's official residence here. While Deshpande claimed that it was just a courtesy meeting, he said that a call on any alliance will be taken by MNS president Raj Thackeray.

The meeting assumes significance as the MNS leadership had also met chief minister Eknath Shinde last week.


An MNS leader told ET that "it was too early to say whether MNS would be part of the alliance as there were a lot of issues to be ironed out".
