Devendra Fadnavis, Stakes Claim To Form Maharashtra Government

Devendra Fadnavis, the Chief Minister elect of Maharashtra, has met Governor CP Radhakrishnan and staked claim to form government, two weeks after the assembly election results were declared. 

He was accompanied by allies Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar. 

The meeting comes shortly after the BJP ended the long-drawn suspense over the Chief Minister post, naming him for the position.
