Days after the Shiv Sena pulled out of the alliance with the BJP and joined hands with the NCP and the Congress to form government in Maharashtra, a senior Sena leader on Monday called on the saffron allies to come together again.
Sena leader Manohar Joshi said party chief Uddhav Thackeray would take a decision on this issue at the right time.
"Instead of fighting over small issues, it is better to tolerate some things. It is good to share issues which you feel strongly about. If both parties work together, it is beneficial for both," he said.

"It is not that Shiv Sena will never go with the BJP again. Uddhav Thackeray will take the right decision at the right time," Joshi said.
In the assembly polls held last month, the BJP won 105 seats, the Sena bagged 56, followed by the NCP (54) and the Congress (48) in the 288-member House. The Sena broke its three-decade-long ties with the BJP after the latter declined to share the chief minister's post.
Uddhav Thackeray took oath on November 28 at the historic Shivaji Park, supported by the Congress and the NCP.
