MUMBAI: Eight days after the ruling Mahayuti’s thumping victory in Maharashtra, its leaders Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar held talks with Union home minister Amit Shah in Delhi amid indications that the final call on chief ministership could be made in a day or two.

Shinde resigned as Chief Minister of Maharashtra on Tuesday, days after Mahayuti's historic victory in the Maharashtra Assembly Elections. The term of the current assembly ended on November 26. The announcement of Maharashtra's next Chief Minister has been delayed after the Mahayuti alliance emerged victorious in the state assembly elections.

A decision on Chief Minister post is likely to be made during the meeting of caretaker CM Eknath Shinde and outgoing Deputy CMs Ajit Pawar and Devendra Fadnavis with Union Home Minister Amit Shah today.

The decision on 43 other cabinet berths and portfolio distribution among the three alliance members of Mahayuti (BJP, Shiv Sena, NCP) is yet to be finalised.

Eknath Shinde on Wednesday said he has assured Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he will abide by the BJP's decision on naming his successor.

As suspense over the next Maharashtra Chief Minister continues five days after the Mahayuti swept the Assembly polls, Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar will meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi today in an attempt to break the deadlock.
