The meeting is being held a day after Eknath Shinde said he would not be an 'obstacle" and go by the decision of the BJP Central leadership regarding the top post, effectively clearing decks for Mr Fadnavis, seen as the front-runner in the race.
The suspense over who would be the Chief Minister of Maharashtra could be resolved this evening as the three key leaders of the ruling alliance -- Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar -- meet Union Home minister and the BJP's chief strategist Amit Shah in Delhi. Mr Fadnavis and Mr Shinde are on way to Delhi and the meeting is expected to begin at 9 pm.
The meeting is being held a day after Eknath Shinde said he would not be an 'obstacle" and go by the decision of the BJP Central leadership regarding the top post, effectively clearing decks for Mr Fadnavis, seen as the front-runner in the race.
"I have told PM Modi that I would not be an obstacle. We would go with whatever he decides," Mr Shinde had told reporters. He also said he was not "not greedy for any position" and 'no one is upset". Earlier today, sources had said hat the Chief Minister would be from the BJP, who would have two deputies.
