Sushil Kumar Modi tags Amit Shah as "real Chanakya of Indian Politics"

Mumbai : Hours after Devendra Fadnavis took oath as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and Ajit Pawar took oath as the Deputy CM, Bihar Deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi was all praise for the Union Home Minister Amit Shah, saying that he has once again proved that he is the 'real chanakya of Indian Politics'.

"@AmitShah has once again proved that he is the real Chanakya of Indian politics," he tweeted.

In a major twist in the Maharashtra Government formation, Ajit Pawar and BJP proved majority in front of the Maharashtra Governor and went ahead with the oath taking ceremony. The oath was administered by Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari to Mr Fadnavis and Mr Pawar at Raj Bhawan.

The surprise move came hours after it was known that the NCP- Congress-Shiv Sena alliance talks have reached the final stage.

Earlier, NCP supremo Sharad Pawar had claimed that there was a consensus on Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray as Chief Minister of the alliance government.
