The three top leaders of the Mahayuti alliance will meet Union Home Minister and BJP leader Amit Shah tomorrow in Delhi to decide on who will be the next chief minister of Maharashtra.
BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis, NCP’s Ajit Pawar and Shiv Sena’s Eknath Shinde are in the race.
Before the Maharashtra assembly election, the BJP and the Shiv Sena in a series of meetings agreed that Mr Shinde would continue to be the chief minister irrespective of the number of seats won by each member of the Mahayuti alliance if they win the election, people with direct knowledge of the matter said today.
The BJP contested the maximum number of seats in the election which the Mahayuti alliance swept in a historic feat, taking 235 of the 288 assembly seats, with the BJP alone winning 132 seats.
