Fadnavis set to be CM, Subhani with Sena thorn in side fter being elected the BJP legislature party leader, Devendra Fadnavis is all set to become the chief minister for a second term. He is only the second CM after Vasantrao Naik (1967-72) to com- Aplete a full term in office. His second foray, however, is likely to be more challenging as the BJP’s numbers have reduced from 122 to 105 in the 288-member Assembly, while the Opposition Congress-NCP combine has been able to increase its tally from 83 to 98. However, the biggest test will be managing the Shiv Sena, which has been sulking ever since it became the junior partner in the saffron alliance in 2014. A week has passed since the results were announced, but there is still no clarity on the formation of the new government. The Shiv Sena wants half of the ministerial berths and the CM's post for 2.5 years. The Uddhav Thackeray-led party claims that these were the terms agreed upon by the leadership of both parties while entering into a pre-poll alliance. On the other hand, the BJP claims it had agreed on equitable, not equal, distribu- tion of power.
