Patole likens 3-party Maha govt to 'Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh'

State Assembly Speaker Nana Patole on Sunday said the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi government, formed by Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP, was like "Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh" and will complete its five year term with the support of 170 MLAs in the 288-member House.

Speaking to reporters in Shirdi after visiting the Sai Baba temple here, Patole made light of reports of unhappiness among MLAs over non-inclusion in the state government.

"In a family, if there are four sons, some may be happy, some unhappy," he said.

Queried on the longevity of the Uddhav Thackeray government due to the presence of parties with opposing ideologies, Patole said, "This government is like Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh and will complete its full five year term. We have the support of 170 MLAs."
