    “The government of the existing chief minister and his 40 MLAs will collapse in 15-20 days. The death warrant of this government has been issued. It is now to be decided who will sign it,” Raut claimed.

    The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader had earlier claimed the Shinde government will collapse in February.
