Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis gave a firm response on Monday to the ongoing accusations and counter-accusations regarding the relationship between the Shinde faction of Shiv Sena and the BJP.

Responding to Aditya Thackeray's statement that "22 MLAs of the Shinde Sena are under BJP's control," Chief Minister Fadnavis said that tomorrow anyone could also say that 20 MLAs of Aditya Thackeray are under BJP's control. However, nothing in politics changes just because someone says something.
