Paramount leaders of key political parties in Maharashtra -- Bharatiya Janata Party, Congress and Nationalist Congress Party will head to Delhi today as the political turmoil in the state stretches on.
In an attempt to arrive at a solution, the parties are set to hold high-power meetings that might help arrive at a possible formula into government formation in Maharashtra -- the moves each of the two main alliances will now make.
While incumbent Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis met Union Home Minister and BJP chief Amit Shah in New Delhi on Monday, NCP chief Sharad Pawar will also be meeting Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi in the national capital.

Sources said that Devendra Fadnavis's the meeting with Amit Shah will be to discuss aid from the National Disaster Relief Fund (NDRF) to farmers affected by unseasonal rains across the state. But the political situation in Maharashtra, with BJP-ally Shiv Sena refusing to budge from its demand for 50:50 chief ministership, is also expected to be discussed with the Amit Shah.
Simultaneously, NCP chief Sharad Pawar will head to Delhi and hold talks on lending support to Shiv Sena may also be discussed during a meeting with ally Congress's chief Sonia Gandhi in the national capital.
