New Delhi: Downplaying the meeting between MNS chief Raj Thackeray and its Maharashtra unit leaders, BJP on Tuesday said there were no political discussions with him and hoped that Shiv Sena will participate in Wednesday's NDA rally against corruption.
"Yesterday, Raj Thackeray had a programme near our Maharashtra unit office. He came to meet our leaders as we have relations with him since he was with Shiv Sena for several years. There were no political discussions. I hope after the clarification by Maharashtra unit chief (Sudhir Mungantiwar), Shiv Sena will attend the rally," BJP President Nitin Gadkari told reporters.
Gadkari was responding to questions on Sena's threat to boycott the NDA rally after Raj met Mungantiwar and other leaders.
"As far as politics is concerned, our alliance with Shiv Sena stands today. There is no proposal to have an alliance with MNS, the Maharashtra unit president has already clarified on the meeting," he said.
The Shiv Sena has threatened to boycott NDA'S proposed rally against corruption in the Capital on Wednesday over Raj's visit to BJP office on Monday.
The MNS chief had visited the BJP office in Mumbai and met BJP state president Sudhir Mungantiwar and other leaders for about 20 minutes.
