Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Thursday said talks on the chief ministerial candidate of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) for the upcoming Maharashtra assembly elections can be held later as its first task is to dislodge the "corrupt" Mahayuti-led dispensation in the state, reported news agency PTI.

His remarks come a day after NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar said there was no need for the MVA to announce a chief ministerial face and the decision can be made based on the numbers after the Maharashtra assembly elections results.
