Earlier today, the Shinde camp had said that they have started negotiations with the BJP and they will form the government. "The Shinde led government will resolve many issues which have been stalled for last two and a half years effectively. Reservation to Marathas, OBCs and the completion of the infrastructure projects will be the priorities of the new government," Fadnavis said. Addressing mediapersons earlier in the day, rebel Sena camp’s spokesperson How it all started The crisis began on June 21 after suspected cross-voting in the Legislative Council elections.
