The Shiv Sena leaders met Koshyari at 5 pm, a Raj Bhavan official said. The development comes at a time when the saffron alliance - BJP and the Sena are engaged in a bitter tug-of-war over the equal distribution of cabinet portfolios. The two parties are also fighting over sharing the term of chief minister's post for 2.5 years each.

Earlier in the day, Raut reached Raj Bhavan to meet Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari. Raut had earlier said that his scheduled meeting with Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari would be a "courtesy call" with no political motive. While addressing the media persons, Raut said, "It will be a courtesy meet and not political. I am going to talk to the governor on various issues. We will also inform him about our stand," reports news agency PTI.

In the recently concluded Maharashtra Assembly Elections, the BJP won 105 seats, Shiv Sena-56, NCP-54 and Congress-44.
