Rebel Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde has left Goa for Mumbai and will meet BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis at his Sagar Bungalow today. Shinde left with the letter of support of 51 MLAs, reported ABP News. He is also expected to meet Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari late in the evening and stake claim to form the government.

Earlier today, Shinde took to Twitter and dismissed rumours of finalising portfolio distribution with the BJP. He said there has been no such discussion with Fadnavis or BJP so far.

"There has been no discussion with BJP about who and how many ministerial posts will be there, it will happen soon. Until then, please don't believe the ministerial lists and rumors about it," Shinde's Twitter handle read.
