Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut

The senior party leader also alleged that the verdict was against the wishes of people which has caused delay in the selection of Chief Minister. 

Raut talks to reporters
"Eight days have passed since the outcome of the assembly poll was announced, but Maharashtra has not been able to get a CM. The caretaker CM (Eknath Shinde) has gone to his village in Sitara. Why is this happening?," Mr Raut told reporters.
