Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, his deputies Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar met Union Home Minister Amit Shah here on Thursday night to thrash out a power-sharing pact in the state where the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance romped home to a landslide victory in the assembly elections.

Maharashtra caretaker CM Eknath Shinde's son Shrikant said he is proud of his father for setting an example of following the "alliance dharma" by setting aside personal ambition. The remarks come after the Shiv Sena supremo agreed to step aside from the state's top post if Prime Minister Narendra Modi and NDA leader Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) decides so.
