Mumbai, November 29: A day after the swearing-in ceremony of Uddhav Thackeray as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shiv Sena threatened the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to form new front in Goa. Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Friday warned the saffron party of toppling its government in the neighbouring state, as his party did in Maharashtra.
