Pune (Maharashtra) [India], November 24 (ANI): A day after the Mahayuti alliance clinched a landslide victory in the Maharashtra Assembly Elections, Pune NCP president Deepak Mankar on Sunday said that the party workers are in favour of making ‘dada’ (Ajit Pawar) the Chief Minister of the state.
“The workers of NCP wish that if ‘dada’ (Ajit Pawar), then Maharashtra will get a good direction. Dada has the capacity to do work…we know the kind of work he did in Maharashtra as deputy CM in the last 2.5 years…let’s see…Mahayuti is taking everyone along,” Mankar told ANI.
When asked about CM’s face, he said it had been decided that leaders of three parties would sit together and decide on the chief minister.
“PM Modi and Amit Shah will take the decision, everyone will sit together. Fadnavis, Shinde and Dada (Ajit Pawar) three of them are capable,” he added.
Of 288 assembly constituencies, Mahayuti secured 230 seats in the recently concluded assembly polls in Maharashtra.
