Mumbai: Maharashtra's caretaker Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday reportedly put forward three key demands during his meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi regarding the formation of a new government in the state.

Maharashtra: The Maharashtra Assembly election results were declared on November 23, but the ruling BJP-led Mahayuti alliance has yet to finalise its choice for Chief Minister.

Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde, BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, and NCP's Ajit Pawar met Union Home Minister Amit Shah discussing Maharashtra government formation. The power-sharing pact talks continue after the BJP-led coalition's significant assembly election win.

Maharashtra's caretaker chief minister Eknath Shinde states that the Mahayuti alliance will decide on the next chief minister in an upcoming meeting in Mumbai. Shinde confirms no issues with the chief minister’s position and agrees with the Prime Minister's decision.
