@DilliDurAst Dont think the options put forth suffice to address the condition at hand. It is unlikely to think of the second option. Sharad Pawar's stature in the present is too big to be compatible for CM post.
Uddhav Thakare would have been the second option with Ajit Pawar probably the third option, which also is very u likely in present scenario.
It would be suicidal for Shiv Sena to be a part of Govt. without CM post, after faceoff with BJP on the same issue.
