Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and his two deputies, Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar, met Union Home Minister Amit Shah here on Friday.

The late-evening huddle of the top leaders of the Mahayuti coalition in Maharashtra with BJP strategist Shah came at a time when seat-sharing talks among the ruling constituents in the state were at a crucial juncture.

The Bharatiya Janata Party, the Shinde-led Shiv Sena and the Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party are seeking to retain power in the November 20 state assembly polls.

The three parties are expected to finalise the seat-sharing formula for the election during the meeting.

The BJP held a meeting of its Central Election Committee on Wednesday and finalised the first list of candidates for the Maharashtra polls. -- PTI
