Summary:
"Fadnavis and Uddhavji said they and BJP national president Amit Shah would take a decision on who would become the chief minister after the assembly polls. There was no need for any unnecessary decisions and statements," said a senior Shiv Sena MLA. Adding fuel to the fire, Yuva Sena leader Varun Sardesai, who is Yuva Sena chief Aaditya Thackeray's cousin, claimed the two parties would share the chief minister's post for two-and-a-half years. However, this has been denied by senior BJP ministers, with water resources and medical education minister Girish Mahajan, a confidante of chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, being the latest to stress that the BJP will retain the post. On Sunday, Uddhav warned the BJP that farmers would teach a lesson to those who had burning aspirations of becoming the chief minister..
