Brainstorming in Delhi today on the formation of new government in Maharashtra... Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar
The picture of the new government in Maharashtra has become clear. Eknath Shinde has made a big announcement. The next chief minister of Maharashtra will be from BJP. Shiv Sena will support the chief minister from the BJP. Eknath Shinde said that he has spoken to Prime Minister Modi on the matter.
Breaking his silence four days after the assembly election results, Maharashtra Chief Minister, Eknath Shinde said he has assured PM Narendra Modi that he will abide by whatever decision the BJP takes on naming his successor.
Devendra Fadnavis accepted the Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister's post under Eknath Shinde in 2022. He was the Maharashtra Chief Minister for the full five-year term from 2014 to 2019.
Eknath Shinde held a press conference on Wednesday stating that his party will extend support to whatever choice the BJP makes for the next Maharashtra Chief Minister.
The BJP on its own walked away with 132 seats, followed by Shiv Sena with 57 and the Ajit Pawar-led NCP with 41 seats. Ajit Pawar already hinted that his party will support Fadnavis for the top job in the state. Now, Shinde said he is not in the CM race, which means the road is clear for Fadnavis.
Eknath Shinde held a press conference regarding Shiv Sena's stand of the name of next Maharashtra Chief Minsiter.
Withdrawing himself from the Chief Minister's race, Eknath Shinde presented his report card and thanked the people of Maharashtra for the astounding victory of his alliance in the Assembly elections.
Amid suspense over who will become the next chief minister of Maharashtra, the BJP sources on Wednesday said that Devendra Fadnavis is almost certain to be the next Chief Minister of Maharashtra as the Cenntral leadership has given green signal.
Despite the Mahayuti coalition’s electoral victory, the alliance is struggling with disagreements regarding the post of chief minister. In the assembly polls, the BJP-led Mahayuti won a landslide victory in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, winning 235 seats in the 288-member assembly.

Ramdas Athawale said the Maharashtra dispute should end soon as BJP's high command has decided that Devendra Fadnavis should be made the CM but Eknath Shinde is unhappy and his displeasure needs to be removed.
The swearing-in of Maharashtra's new government faces a delay due to a leadership tussle within the ruling Mahayuti coalition over the Chief Minister's post.

The formation of a new government in Maharashtra, which appeared likely immediately after the BJP-led coalition won a thumping majority in the assembly elections, is delayed due to Shiv Sena’s insistence that Eknath Shinde continue as the chief minister.
