Meanwhile name of Uddhav Thackeray for Chief Minister has also started doing rounds within the party, sources said. Governor BS Koshyari has invited Devendra Fadnavis to form government in the state. According to media reports, Fadnavis-led BJP government in Maharashtra will have to proved majority in the state assembly on November 11, Monday. Saturday was the last day of Maharashtra Assembly's previous term. "The Governor today asked Devendra Fadnavis, the leader of the elected members of the single-largest party, the BJP, to indicate the willingness and ability of his party to form the government in Maharashtra," an official statement read.
