New Deli : Tonight, key political leaders are convening in Delhi to finalize the leadership of Maharashtra. Devendra Fadnavis is the primary contender for the chief ministerial position. Following the state assembly election results on November 23, the Mahayuti alliance is preparing to announce its chosen candidate.
Many prominent political figures including caretaker Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Devendra Fadnavis, Ajit Pawar and Union Minister Amit Shah are present in this important meeting. Sources say that many names are being discussed, but Fadnavis seems to have an upper hand in the leadership race.
