Mumbai, May 28 -- Union home minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah held meetings with chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and deputy chief ministers Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar before curtailing his Mumbai visit and returning to New Delhi on Tuesday afternoon. The home minister met Fadnavis and Shinde together on Tuesday morning while his meeting with Pawar was held on Monday, said sources in the Mahayuti alliance. Shah's meetings with top leaders of the alliance assumes significance in light of upcoming elections to 687 local bodies in the state including the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). In the meeting with Fadnavis and Shinde, discussions were held about the three parties contesting the local polls together and the seat-sharing arrangement for civic polls in Mumbai and other cities, said a senior BJP leader. Ajit Pawar raised some issues related to his party during his meeting with Shah, said an NCP minister. On Tuesday, Shah presented the state government's newly constituted 'Chhatrapati Sambhajiraje Rajya Prerna Geet Award' to the song "Anadi me, Anant me, Awadhya me" (I am without an end, without a start, invincible), written by Savarkar. The award was presented to Savarkar's kin Ranjit Savarkar, at Varsha, the official residence of the chief minister. Shah left for Delhi thereafter, upending plans of inaugurating the Veer Savarkar Study and Research Centre at Mumbai University. State officials and BJP leaders said they were not aware why Shah's visit was curtailed. Earlier in the day, Shah attended a programme commemorating 150 years of the Lakshminarayan Temple in Madhavbaug. State BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawnakule on Tuesday indicated that the party's working president Ravindra Chavan would be his successor. "Chavan is our working president and soon he will be the state BJP president," said Bawankule, who was inducted as the state revenue minister last year....
