Maharashtra Governor may have explored last option

However, experts feel that merely staking claim is not enough and Shiv Sena has lost its chance.

'Aaditya Thackeray is a visionary leader,' says Arvind Sawant

Several posters have surfaced calling for Aaditya Thackeray to be the next chief minister of the state.

As deadline to form govt in Maharashtra nears, Raut reiterated that the CM would be from Shiv Sena.

Ever since, Uddhav’s son Aaditya decided to contest the Vidhan Sabha polls, he has been projected as party’s next chief minister.

Athawale said during the 15-year rule of the Congress and NCP in Maharashtra, CM's post went to the party winning maximum number of seats.

Today, Mr Fadnavis wants to hang on to all the key portfolios and hand out the leftovers to the Shiv Sena.

In addition to discussing the power-sharing deal with the BJP, the party is also likely to elect the legislature party leader on this occasion.

Tambe has advised Thackeray not to wait for the “right age” to become the chief minister else he would lose the opportunity.

In the 288-member Assembly, the BJP won 105 seats, while ally Sena bagged 56.

Shiv Sena’s Aaditya Thackeray became the first member of the Thackeray family to contest elections.
