Maharashtra Govt Formation LIVE: Uddhav's Name as CM Gets Cleared, Logjam Now Over Speaker Post

Maharashtra government formation LIVE Updates: A formal announcement of Maharashtra's new government, led by Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, is likely to be made by afternoon today. After names of Sanjay Raut and Arvind Sawant emerged as front-runners for CM post, the new trio of Sena-NCP-Congress finally came to a consensus to reserve the top post for senior Thackeray as the Nationalist Congress Party seemed hesitant to back any other candidate for the key post. However, now the logjam is over speaker position and the post of deputy chief minister. Sources said that since the biggest party has taken CM post, second biggest should get speaker. But the Congress is insisting on the speaker post, a source said, adding that remains a bone of contention between Congress and NCP.
