Peace could finally prevail between estranged partners BJP and Shiv Sena in Maharashtra as RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat may try and attempt to bring both parties together to bolster the Hindutva plank in Maharashtra, Sena sources said on Sunday.



Bhagwat and Uddhav have spoke to each other telephonically four times in the last few days, with the last conversation taking place on Sunday, said a Senior Sena leader. "The first call was made after the trust vote on November 12," he said. He added that there was a 'possibility' of the two meeting on Monday to take the issue forward. Another Sena leader described the talks as 'positive' and claimed that the Sena could be a part of the government before November 22.



However, a BJP Minister when contacted said that while he was not aware of the talks between the RSS and Sena, any decision on the Sena being part of the BJP government would only be decided after Prime Minister Modi returns from his visit on November 20.



The BJP leader also said that the possibility of Bhagwat meeting Uddhav on Monday was unlikely. "He might have called Uddhav, I am not aware of it, however, I don't believe that he is going to meet Uddhav tomorrow. His itinerary has been planned in advance and there is no meeting scheduled with Uddhav for Monday," said a BJP functionary.
