The Shiv Sena won't side with the BJP even if offered Lord Indra's throne, Sena MP Sanjay Raut said in Mumbai on Friday.
Talking to reporters, Raut reiterated that his party will get the Maharashtra chief minister's post when the three-party alliance with the Congress and NCP assumes power.
"The time for offers has ended," Raut said, when asked about reports that the BJP had agreed to share the CM's post with the Shiv Sena.
