Mumbai/IBNS: In the ongoing tussle between the Shiv Sena and the Bharatiya Janata Party in Maharashtra, the lone Shiv Sena minister in the PM Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre-Arvind Sawant- announced to quit on Monday.

He announced his decision to quit from the Centre by posting his remarks on Twitter.

Shiv Sena is considered as one of the oldest allies of the BJP.

However, the recent developments following the Maharashtra Assembly polls have pointed to a rift arising between the two parties.

Maharashtra governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Sunday invited leaders of the second-largest party, the Shiv Sena, to form the government, following the refusal of BJP to do so.

According to governor house officials, Sena has to communicate to the governor by 7:30 pm on Monday.

As per the latest development, now the ball is in NCP's court with the Sharad Pawar-led party saying that it will think of its next move after governor's latest invite.

Meanwhile, Malikarjun Kharge and other senior Congress leaders have decided to meet Sonia Gandhi on Monday.

Earlier BJP leader Chandrakant Patil announced that the party has informed Governor that it does not have the numbers to form the government.

The party asked former ally Shiv Sena to go ahead and form the government with NCP-Congress.

He accused Uddhav Thackeray-led party of insulting people's mandate.
