Meanwhile, outgoing Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said he would support the BJP’s decision to pick the new Chief Minister.

More than a week after the Mahayuti clinched a massive victory in Maharashtra polls with the BJP emerging as the single largest party with 132 seats, the new government is yet to be sworn in.
The oath-taking ceremony of the Mahayuti government is scheduled for December 5 evening at Azad Maidan in Mumbai in the presence of PM Modi.
The BJP is moving cautiously as aspirations of its allies, especially Shiv Sena, grew after the massive poll victory. (Maxim News)
