Mumbai: The alliance of Shiv Sena, Congress and Nationalist Congress Party on Friday evening held a meeting to seal a deal for forming a government in Maharashtra.
NCP supremo Sharad Pawar told the media that three parties – Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress have come to a consensus on Uddhav Thackeray’s name for the chief minister’s post.
He said that a press conference briefing the details of the meet would be held on Saturday.
Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray post-meeting said the talks were ‘positive and fruitful’.
According to sources, NCP chief has urged Uddhav Thackeray to take the chief minister’s post, NDTV reported. The Sena chief, however, said he would take a decision on the offer after consulting his MLA’s.
On October 24, the declared result of Maharashtra Assembly polls announced BJP as the single-largest party, with 105 seats. In the 288-member Maharashtra Assembly, while Sena secured 56, Congress and NCP won 44 and 54 seats respectively.
Last week, President’s rule was imposed on the recommendation of the Governor BS Koshiyari after not a single party was able to prove numbers for government formation.
