Nagpur: Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday said RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat should not be linked to the government formation moves in Maharashtra. He also said a decision will soon be taken on government formation in the state, and since BJP won more seats than Sena, CM will be from BJP.

Speaking to reporters here, the Lok Sabha member from Nagpur also ruled out his return to his home state to assume the top job. “Devendra Fadnavis will head the new government,” Gadkari said.

To another query, he said, “RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat or the Sangh have no relation with all this. It won’t be appropriate to link the RSS chief to the goings on (over government formation).”

Amid the impasse, farm activist Kishore Tiwari, who joined Sena ahead of the poll, recently said Bhagwat must depute Gadkari to resolve the BJP-Sena power-tussle.
