Allies should follow coalition dharma: Shinde amid 'poaching' row
Amid a rift with its ally BJP, Maharashtra Deputy CM and Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde said, "My clear stand is that we fully follow principles of coalition dharma, and our alliance partners follow the same." This comes after Shiv Sena ministers skipped a Cabinet meeting earlier amid complaints that BJP was poaching its leaders ahead of local body elections.
