A day of twists in the tale sees Uddhav Thackeray chosen as leader of Maha Vikas Aghadi; Shiv Sena, NCP Congress alliance say they will form govt on December 1; Special session of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly starts on Wednesday.

It was a day of political irony and intrigue in Maharashtra. Both Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar who were sworn in as chief minister and deputy chief minister just three days ago in extraordinary circunstances, resigned from their posts.

Meanwhile, Shiv Sena Chief Uddhav Thackeray was elected as the leader of alliance at the Maha-aghadi meeting. Apart from the support of Congress, NCP, and Shiv Sena, Thackeray also received the support of other small parties.

Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari has called a special session of the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday.
