Mumbai: In the middle of a political crisis in Maharashtra, local sources have predicted Shivsena leader Eknath Shinde’s possibility to be the Chief Minister of Maharashtra is more than any other leader. Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari has accepted Uddhav Thackeray’s resignation and appointed him as caretaker Chief Minister till the new government is sworn in.
Rebel Sena leader Eknath Shinde, who is meeting with his faction’s MLAs before heading to the Governor later in the day, has said there has been no discussion with the BJP about the details of ministerial posts if they form a new government together.
Eknath Shinde has said, “the rebel group’s focus is the overall development of Maharashtra and development works in the constituency of MLAs according to Shiv Sena chief Balasaheb Thackeray’s idea of Hindutva and late Sena senior leader Anand Dighe’s teachings.”
The BJP claims they have the support of over 170 MLAs to form the new government.
