Asked if the issue of the strained ties with ally Shiv Sena was discussed at yesterday's meeting, Joshi said, "It is an issue to be discussed by BJP and I am not a BJP leader." Joshi gave a similar reply when asked about Maharashtra's former chief minister Narayan Rane's meeting with Shah on Monday and the possibility of his joining the BJP, saying "the BJP has to take a call on such matters."
