Last week Eknath Shinde took oath as Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra to bring the curtain down on nearly two weeks of 'will he, won't he' suspense - would the sulking Shiv Sena leader give up, amicably, the Chief Minister's chair to the BJP's Devendra Fadnavis? The answer - yes.
This week the Sena boss could spark a whole new period of tension for the BJP-led Mahayuti that romped to victory in the November 23 Maharashtra election.
