Shiv Sena Executive President Uddhav Thackeray has asked 'Who should approach whom?'with respect to forming a post- poll alliance in Nashik. Uddhav said this while referring to a question on whether the party would support the MNS, the single largest party in Nashik Municipal Corporation to form the government.

" In Nashik, the DF alliance has 35 seats, Sena alliance has 36 and the MNS has 40 seats. It is a fact that two of the three should come together in alliance to form a government. But who will speak to whom?" Uddhav asked, indicating that a decision on Nashik with the MNS as a poll partner, is facing an 'ego'hurdle.

While throwing light on the stories that senior leader Manohar Joshi has been kept out of bounds from Matoshri since the past two- three days, Uddhav Thackeray rubbished the claims saying, " This is completely false. Matoshri doors were never closed for Manohar Joshi Sir. He is a senior leader of the party and we all respect him. Neither victory nor loss is any obstacle therefore. It is wrong to make an issue of the defeat. 'Sir'had come to Matoshri on Monday and we discussed on the issue for a good one hour. We do not know what politics is Sena executive president denies shutting Matoshri doors on Joshi
