Maharashtra Crisis: BJP's Nitesh Rane calls Eknath Shinde and team 'REAL SHIV SENA'

After the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) party collapsed in Maharashtra on Wednesday with Uddhav Thackeray tendering his resignation to governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, BJP chief Chandrakant Patil said Devendra Fadnavis and rebel Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde will now decide the next course of action, reported news agency PTI.

While replying to a question on what would the BJP do next after emerging as the single largest party in the state, Patil said, "The next steps will be decided by Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde." While Fadnavis said he will let everyone know about the party's stand on Thursday.
