Even as the BJP failed to make any official announcement about who will be Maharashtra's Chief Minister for the eighth day on Saturday, senior Maharashtra politicians met Dr Baba Adhav, an old respected political activist and physician, who had been on a protest fast against the use of electronic voting machines (EVMs), demanding a return to paper ballot voting.
Interestingly, NCP leader and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar, who is a part of the winning BJP-backed Mahayuti was at the venue at Bhide Wada locality in Pune, requesting Baba Adhav to call off his three-day old fast "to save democracy and the Constitution".
Uddhav Thackeray who leads the Shiv Sena (UBT) and Jayant Patil of the Sharad Pawar-led NCP also met Adhav and requested him to give him his fast.
At least for now, Adhav has given up his fast, but he said that his agitation against EVMs will continue.
