So this is interesting because a lot of people sensed that this was a long term view that he had and the goal really was to sort of wait until the next election and then maybe hope that the BJP comes back with a full majority. As the day progressed, JP Nada, who is the President of the BJP, prevailed upon Fat Navy and asked him to be the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra. So, as it stands today, Ignati is Chief Minister and David Fadnavis is Deputy Chief Minister

Hi Karan. Thanks for the update. Yes, I believe that Fed nervous himself wasn't very sure if he will be playing a role in the government and had taken a backseat apparently. But looks like the center for has other plans for him. And yeah, we will have to wait and watch how this whole thing pans out. Pavalo has gone on record to say that Uddhav Takare had literally handed over the leadership to Iknat Shinde and that is how this whole thing happened
