Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 27 (ANI): Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Shirsat on Wednesday said that the next Maharashtra Chief Minister should be from Shiv Sena.
Speaking to ANI, Shirsat said, "We want the CM to be from Shiv Sena. We fought the election under the leadership of CM Eknath Shinde and I believe that the top leaders will also bless him..You will be able to see the new government in Maharashtra maximum by December 2. The swearing-in ceremony will be organised on a grand scale and I think it will be likely held at the Wankhede stadium."
Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske said that there is no confusion on the CM and the decision would take some time. 
"There is no confusion. The leaders of Mahayuti will take a decision on the CM. No state announces the name of the CM in two days. It takes time. We are a small party so we have demanded that just like you (BJP) gave it (CM'S post to JDU) in Bihar, give it to us as well... It is on the leaders to decide. Mhaske said while speaking to ANI.
Earlier today, BJP leader Ashok Chavan had said that the government in Maharashtra would be formed after taking everyone into confidence.
Speaking to ANI, he said, "There is an alliance of three parties. Therefore, a decision will be taken only after taking everyone into confidence. There is no delay because it has been only 4 days since the results were announced. Whatever Ramdas Athawale has said is his personal opinion. A stable government will be formed."
Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde resigned as Maharashtra Chief Minister and was appointed as the caretaker CM until the formation of the new government.
However, the Mahayuti alliance is yet to decide on who will lead the Maharashtra government.
The BJP emerged as the biggest winner with 132 seats out of 280 member Maharashtra assembly, while its allies--the Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde and the NCP led by Ajit Pawar--won 57 and 41 seats, respectively.
The Maharashtra assembly elections were held on November 20, and the results were declared on November 23. (ANI)
