After yesterday's crucial meeting at Delhi attended by top leaders of MahaYuti or Grand Alliance, Desai said: 'Our senior leaders had discussed last day and everything would get clear in the next two days. A decision will arrive today or tomorrow itself."

The Shiv Sena forms part of the NDA. The BJP is the other party. And when crucial decisions have to be taken then going to Delhi forms part of the process. What is wrong with that? Instructions get discussed and then decided in that manner," he explained.

Sanjay Raut took a swipe at the process, saying, "All decisions related to Maharashtra will now be made in Delhi. Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar will have to repeatedly travel to Delhi to present their case and listen to PM Modi and Amit Shah.
