MUMBAI: The Shiv Sena and BJP divorce may have been finalised, but the Sena’s lone man in the Narendra Modi government, Union Heavy Industries Minister Anant Geete has still not resigned and sources said the chances of his resignation are low. Geete’s continuance in the government is being seen as sign that a patch up between the two allies could happen in the future.The Sena has asked Geete, Union Minister for Heavy Industries , to not put in his papers even though the Sena-BJP alliance has split and the two parties are contesting the assembly polls separately because it feels that this is just a temporary set back in its relations with its former ally the BJP.“It’s clear that with both the BJP and we are contesting the elections separately, none of us would have the numbers to form the government on their own. So after the alliance there is a real chance that the two parties could come together for a post poll understanding to form the government together. Which is why we have asked Geete not to put in his papers yet,” Said a senior Sena functionary.Cleary the Sena is worried that if it asks Geete to resign now, and if the two have to come to form a government in the state, post poll, then there is no guarantee that the Modi government would offer the Sena another ministerial berth.According to the party though, Geete has been told that if the BJP wants his resignation then he should put in his papers.The BJP too also realizes that in spite of its bravado that it would get more than 100 seats, if it contests alone, it may need the Sena for a post poll tie up, which is why the party has not sought for Geete’s resignation as of yet.
