Congratulations and good wishes to newly elected Government of Mahavikas Aghi in Maharashtra and newly elected Chief Minister Shri Uddhav Thackeray! This new Maharashtrian nexus of 'secularism' and 'socialism' is key point of coming new national political era. BJP's (good) days are over, Akhilesh Yav tweeted. 

Ideology Compromise?

With 'secular' scripted on first line, unconventional alliance led by saffron party, released ir Common Minimum Program on Thursday.  According to Common Minimum Program, alliance of Sena-NCP-Congress begins with a preamble stating that coalition is committed to uphold "secular values" enshrined in Constitution. Indicating an explicit shift in Shiv Sena's politics, since its inception. Caving to Sena's stubborn demand for CM post, Uddhav Thackeray was chosen to be leer of Maha Vikas Aghi alliance and staked claim to form next government.  governor has given alliance until December 3 to prove its numbers.
