Maha 'Manthan' Ahead Of Oath-Taking: Shinde's Push For Last Minute Bargain
At Mumbai's Azad Maidan, preparations for the grand swearing-in ceremony for Maharashtra's next Chief Minister are in full swing. A stage is being erected and a gallery is coming up, but who will take oath remains a question.
Leaders of the three parties in BJP-led Mahayuti, which scored a mammoth win in these state polls, are yet to meet Governor CP Radhakrishnan to stake claim to form the government. In fact, BJP's Devendra Fadnavis, Shiv Sena's Eknath Shinde and NCP's Ajit Pawar are in different cities today. While Mr Fadnavis is in Mumbai, Mr Shinde is unwell and recovering in Thane. Mr Pawar is in Delhi for what he has termed a personal visit.
