The clouds of doubt over the name of the next Chief Minister of Maharashtra have not cleared yet. After Eknath Shinde withdrew his claim for the post of CM, it was believed that the announcement of handing over the reins of the state to Devendra Fadnavis was now just a formality. However, the picture of politics is not so clear,r and many confusing games are going on behind the scenes.

Now BJP's Devendra Fadnavis, NCP President Ajit Paw, discuss thisar, and Shiv Sena President Eknath Shinde are in the capital Delhi today for the final decision on the post of Chief Minister. These three are going to discuss with Union Home Minister Amit Shah tonight. After the discussion, the face of the Chief Minister of Maharashtra will be announced. During this, there will also be a discussion between the three parties about the cabinet. Which party will get what portfolio, this issue will also be discussed in the meeting.

However, on Thursday, Ajit Pawar spoke on the role of Eknath Shinde, saying that Shinde has 'indirect' support for the BJP's chief ministerial face, raising doubts ahead of the meeting with Amit Shah.

What did Ajit Pawar say about Eknath Shinde?
Earlier, Ajit Pawar was welcomed and greeted by the officials at the NCP office in New Delhi. In the press conference organized on this occasion, he commented on many issues. On the question asked about the post of Chief Minister of the state, Ajit Pawar said, 'Tonight we have a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah. In today's meeting, there will be a discussion about the post of Chief Minister and other equations of power-sharing.'

Along with this, he said, 'There was no discussion about the CM face before the Maharashtra assembly elections. We have already supported the Chief Ministerial face of the Bharatiya Janata Party.'

Ajit Pawar said that yesterday Eknath Shinde has also gave indirect support. This means that the Chief Minister fofBJP will be announced in the meeting with Amit Shah.
