Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde resigned in a constitutional obligation, but the suspense over the CM's post continued.

Days after the Mahayuti secured a thumping majority in Maharashtra, the alliance was not able to make a consensus for the chief ministerial face yet as the BJP remained firm on Devendra Fadnavis for the top post,

Devendra Fadnavis is likely to meet Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP President JP Nadda to discuss the modalities of the formation of the next government in Mahrashtra. Fadnavis is considered as the front runner for the post of the chief minister,

The suspense over who will become Maharashtra Chief Minister after the Mahayuti's mammoth victory in the state polls has entered its third day

Union Minister and RPI-Athawale President, Ramdas Athawale, expressed his views on the ongoing political Situation in Maharashtra. Athawale stated that the issue should be resolved soon, with BJP's high command deciding to appoint Devendra Fadnavis as the Chief Minister.

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.

Three days to the results, the Mahayuti is yet to declare its chief ministerial face for Maharashtra. While the BJP leaders are backing Devendra Fadnavis, Shiv Sena is pushing for Eknath Shinde’s name.

Shiv Sena MPs have sought time from Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a meeting to pitch for Eknath Shinde's name for Maharashtra CM post.

BJP’s top leadership on Monday approved Fadnavis’s nomination and the proposal was also endorsed by alliance partners.

The RSS, which played a crucial role in BJP's victory, also backs Fadnavis for the position. On the other hand, Shinde insists no pre-poll pact states that the party with the most seats should get the CM post automatically.
