Congress leader and Maharashtra Industries minister Narayan Rane on Sunday said the tug of war between Shiv Sena and BJP over seat-sharing was for the chief minister’s post, but neither party had a candidate for the top job in the state.
Talking to reporters at Aurangabad, Rane said, ‘All this (tussle between Sena and BJP) is for personal and selfish interests, when both parties do not have a single capable person to lead the state.’
Congress had ‘half a dozen’ leaders who were capable of becoming the chief minister, he said,
adding that the current logjam over seat-sharing between Congress and Nationalist Congress Party was only about number of seats and not about the chief minister’s post.
