India TV NewsMaharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Thursday reiterated that no "formula" was being discussed for the chief minister's post and the Mahayuti partners will take a decision after meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi. In the state poll results declared on November 23, the Mahayuti, comprising the BJP, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena and NCP, bagged an impressive 230 of the 288 assembly seats.
