The announcement was made by Sena leader and former minister Uday Samant, who said: "Shinde ji will take oath as the Deputy CM of Maharashtra."
Incidentally, Samant himself had said hours earlier that if Shinde did not accept the Deputy CM post, no one from the Sena would be part of the government.
Sources said Shinde dragged out the matter due to reservations over certain key portfolios. On the Sena's main demand—the Home portfolio, apart from the Deputy CM post—a BJP insider said: "It was conveyed to Shinde that if he is so keen on Home, then the Sena would have to let go of the Urban Development Ministry, as that would then go to the CM."
