In the evening, the keenly awaited meeting comes on the backdrop of an ever-mounting suspense surrounding the top post in the Mahayuti government following newly declared assembly elections results in Maharashtra.

On November 23, the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance cruised past the magic number comfortably in the elections. In the elections, the BJP won more than 131 seats with the arms of Shiv Sena and NCP getting 57 and 41 seats, respectively.

Earlier today, BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis cleared the uncertainty with respect to Chief Minister office, stating that soon a decision will be taken.
