Meanwhile, the BJP will hold the legislators' meeting on December 4 to elect its group leader, sources said.

The Mahayuti alliance, which comprises the BJP, Shiv Sena (Shinde) and the Nationalist Congress Party (Ajit Pawar), is yet to finalize its chief ministerial candidate despite marathon meetings among its constituents.

BJP state President Chandrashekhar Bawankule on November 30 had announced that the oath-taking ceremony of the Mahayuti government will be held on December 5.
