Shiv Sena Minister Eknath Shinde and Divakar Rawat met Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at the Sahyadri guesthouse . During the meeting, the two leaders discussed the allocation of the ministerial position between the Shiv Sena-BJP. 

A proposal was made during the meeting that the state government should have a advisory committee and that Uddhav Thackeray should be its chairman. It seems that Shiv Sena has some conditions, but it is ready to support BJP. 

Ramdas Kadam, Deepak Kesarkar, Diwakar Rawate , Eknath Shinde were present at this meeting . For the past few days, there was no discussion between Shiv Sena and BJP. Shiv Sena was presenting its role through Sanjay Raut. On the occasion of this meeting discussions were held between the Chief Minister and important leaders of the Shiv Sena . Therefore, it is likely that issue over the post of Chief minister might get solved. 

For the last 14 days, the Shiv Sena has been firm about the 50:50 formula of sharing the Chief Minister post. During this Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut met Sharad Pawar for the second time in a week. Somewhere, the Shiv Sena was trying to maintain pressure on the BJP. However, other than the Chief Minister post, the BJP was ready to give equal accounts. Therefore, it is said that Shiv Sena is likely to give up its prime ministership and join the BJP. Some Shiv Sena ministers are also willing to accompany BJP. It is said that this meeting was the first step of discussion between the Chief Minister and the Shiv Sena.
