Top leaders of the Mahayuti flew into Delhi on Thursday night for a high-profile meeting at Union home minister Amit Shah’s residence to hammer out the formula for determining the next chief minister of Maharashtra as the stage for government formation shifted to the national capital. Mahayuti leaders meetShah to seal power pact Caretaker chief minister Eknath Shinde, his former deputies Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar, along with Bharatiya Janata Party chief JP Nadda were present at Shah’s house in the meeting that spilled into the late hours of the night.

Shinde’s comments came amid protracted uncertainty over the chief minister’s position, days after the BJP-headed Mahayuti won a landslide victory in the assembly elections.
