After the results of the assembly elections in the state, Shiv Sena-BJP lost from the post of Chief Minister and Shiv Sena directly allied with Congress-NCP.

In fact, even though Shiv Sena was in power with BJP in the past, Uddhav Thackeray had often taken an anti-government stance, so will Shiv Sena and BJP come together in the Lok Sabha elections? This was discussed in February 2019 by Uddhav Thackeray, Aditya Thackeray and Devendra Fadnavis

In this meeting, Uddhav Thackeray proposed to Devendra Fadnavis for the post of Chief Minister for two and a half years, on which Devendra Fadnavis said that it is difficult, but I will talk to Amit Shah and tell you.

A few days after this incident, Devendra Fadnavis and Uddhav Thackeray met again through the same mediator. This time, Uddhav Thackeray met Devendra Fadnavis with a special demand, making three major demands before the BJP.

Uddhav Thackeray said, "Our first demand is equal distribution of seats, second is that we should get good accounts in the cabinet and third demand is to leave the Palghar seat for Shiv Sena."

Apart from this, a special demand was that Uddhav Thackeray should have Amit Shah himself come to Matoshri and give his word. All these demands were accepted by the BJP. The nearly broken alliance was then reunited, with the announcement of the alliance at a press conference after Amit Shah's meeting

A book by author Priyam Gandhi mentions these developments. In which the author has said that Shiv Sena's claim that the alliance was broken due to BJP is false. Shiv Sena said that BJP had promised to give the post of Chief Minister to Shiv Sena for two and a half years.

On this, the author has witnessed the break up of the alliance but no one has witnessed the word of the Chief Minister. Who will come forward and say that BJP had given its word to me. It took me 9 to 10 months to write this book, I wrote the book on the day of the swearing in ceremony.

Not only that, Amit Shah did not want to leave his allies during the assembly elections, so a proposal was sent to Uddhav Thackeray through mediation, in which he was told that BJP would give him 124 out of 140 preferred seats to Shiv Sena.

Now that the government has been formed, it is not a government of Modiji or Balasaheb Thackeray's ideology, all the voters have been fooled, so I decided to write this book so that the people and youth of the state have the right to know the truth, said author Priyam Gandhi.
