CM nomination process on Dec 3; BJP reaches out to sulking Shinde

Hindustan Times  

MUMBAI: Almost ten days after it got the highest number of seats in the assembly election, the Bharatiya Janata Party has announced that its chief ministerial candidate will be elected by its 132 MLAs on Wednesday. After this, the BJP’s chief ministerial nominee, along with Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde and NCP chief Ajit Pawar, will proceed to Raj Bhavan to stake a claim to form the government. The BJP’s trouble-shooter and senior leader Girish Mahajan called on caretaker chief minister Eknath Shinde at his Thane residence on Monday evening to invite him for the talks. “He clarified five days ago in a media interaction that he would accept the decision taken by the BJP central leadership.” The Sena leader, however, added that since the elections were led by Shinde as the CM, “some kind of honour was expected—that the chief ministership would be given for the first six months or one year to him”. “If it is not resolved at state level, the three leaders may have a meeting with Amit Shah in Delhi to take a call on sharing,” said a senior BJP leader.
