NDA won in Maharashtra elections.
There was an earthquake in the politics of Maharashtra in 2019. Devendra Fadnavis was CM for only three days. Later, the relationship between Shiv Sena and BJP broke down..The then leader of Shiv Sena, Uddhav Thackeray became the CM by forming an alliance with Congress-NCP. Later in 2022, Eknath Shinde along with his group again joined hands with BJP. The strength of Uddhav Thackeray’s group has weakened. Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde and BJP formed an alliance and Shinde became the CM. Devendra Fadnavis became the Deputy Chief Minister. Fadnavis, who was DCM for the last two years, has now returned to the post of CM. Earlier he ruled as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra from 2014 to 2019.
This time in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, BJP-Shiv Sena (Shinde faction)-NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) had contested the elections. Of the total 288 constituencies, the BJP-led alliance won 235 constituencies. BJP won in 132 constituencies. Shiv Sena won 57 constituencies and NCP won 41 constituencies. BJP has won most of the seats and of course Devendra Fadnavis has become the CM.
Is Shinde bored?
The results of Maharashtra elections had come and there was a lot of curiosity about who would be the CM there. Discussion started whether Shinde, who has been the CM continuously since 2022, will become the Chief Minister again, will he woo Devendra Fadnavis. This time BJP leaders are planning to give CM post to Fadnavis. That’s why the news was spreading that Shinde was bored. There was also a fear that the formation of Maharashtra government might be disrupted. But nothing happened. Eknath Shinde has openly said that I am not seeking any high post. He took oath as Deputy Chief Minister today.
