October 27, 2014 10:43

NDTV reports: A minority Maharashtra government will be sworn-in on October 30, even if talks with the Shiv Sena about the renewal of the alliance are not wrapped up by then, BJP sources said.

The ceremony is likely to be held at the Wankhede Stadium and Prime Minister Narendra Modi may attend it, they added.

Earlier on Sunday, admitting that the talks are on track, senior Maharashtra BJP leader Vinod Tawde said the BJP will hold the election of the leader of the legislature party -- who becomes the chief minister -- on October 28.

"We will elect a new legislature party leader at the meeting, in which (Union minister) Rajnath Singh, (state party in-charge) JP Nadda, Om Mathur and Rajeev Rudy will be present," Tawde said.
