However, the tussle over an important department like the Home Ministry has complicated the process of government formation.With the public acceptance of Eknath Shinde and the clear strategy of the BJP, it is certain that Maharashtra will soon get a new government. However, it will be interesting to see who will play what role and which ministry will go to whom. The people of Maharashtra are now waiting for this political deadlock to end and a stable government to be formed.
