Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole on Friday, miffed over the appointment of Shiv Sena's Ambadas Danve as the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the state Legislative Council, issued a stern warning stating that the alliance with Uddhav Thackeray-led party is "not natural and permanent".

He added that the ties were made "in a different situation".

Shiv Sena recently picked Danve as the LoP in the Legislative Council, a move which riled its allies in the state.

Patole alleged that the step was taken without taking Congress in the loop.

"The post of LoP in the Legislative Council has been given to the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), while the post of Vice President of the Council has been given to Shiv Sena. So, we were of the view that Congress should get this (Council LoP) post. But the decision has been taken without taking us into consideration. We will take up the issue," he said.

"We are ready to talk and go ahead. If they (Shiv Sena) do not want to talk, it is their concern. We had an alliance with them in a different situation. This is not our natural or permanent alliance," Patole said.
