Four days have passed since the Mahayuti scored a mammoth win in the Maharashtra Assembly polls, but the BJP-led alliance is yet to announce its Chief Minister choice. Senior BJP leader and former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has said all three Mahayuti partners are still deciding and an answer will be given soon.
While the BJP wants Devendra Fadnavis for the top job, its ally Shiv Sena is rooting for its leader Eknath Shinde. The BJP is now holding backroom talks with its ally to iron out differences and prevent embarrassment once it names its choice for the top job.
