AFTER winning seven out of 15 Lok Sabha seats and strengthening his position within the ruling NDA, Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde called his party ministers and leaders meeting at his official residence Varsha bungalow on Wednesday where the party decided to contest 100 state assembly seats in 288-member assembly.
The Shiv Sena leaders who attended the meeting said the CM looked confident of returning to power heading the state as the CM.
"It was decided that the Shiv Sena should assertively ask the BJP that Shinde alone should be projected as the CM," said a source.
