“During the 2019 elections, when Fadnavis had given a slogan that Mi Punha Yeyin (I will return to power as Chief Minister) , I had said that if Fadnavis takes a proper look at himself, he will see himself as the leader of Opposition Now also everyone is discussing about who is going to be chief minister in MVA, which means we are going to win. The Mahayuti alliance should now discuss who will be its LoP after the assembly polls,” Thorat said.

Clarifying that the MVA’s chief ministerial face would not be declared before the elections, Thorat said, “For us, winning a majority is the priority. Once we get a solid majority, we will unanimously decide the chief minister.”

Earlier in the day, NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar said the MVA will conclude its seat-sharing talks in eight to 10 days.
