Looking at the trends in Maharashtra, it is very possible that the ruling Mahayuti will return to power with a bumper majority. If we look at the data on the Election Commission’s website, the trend of all 288 seats is visible, BJP is leading on 126 seats, while Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena is leading on 54 seats, Ajit Pawar’s NCP is leading on 35 seats, Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena is leading on 126 seats. Sena is leading on 35 seats. Sena is leading on 20 seats, Congress on 19 seats and Sharad Pawar’s NCP on 14 seats while others are leading on 20 seats. Seeing this it is clear that Mahayuti can form the government.

BJP in the role of elder brother?
If we consider all the things, now BJP is seen in the role of elder brother. Obviously, emerging as the largest party makes BJP a natural contender for the CM’s chair and Devendra Fadnavis can be the first choice of the BJP high command. Amit Shah also said in the election rally that BJP is going to win and Devendra Fadnavis is going to win. After this, there were indications that if BJP becomes the largest party then BJP can contest elections for the post of Chief Minister.

In 2019, BJP emerged as the largest party by winning 105 seats. But despite being in alliance at that time, Shiv Sena under the leadership of Uddhav Thackeray had rejected BJP’s claim to the post of Chief Minister. Then Uddhav Thackeray formed the Mahavikas Aghadi government with Sharad Pawar and Congress. What happened after that is public information.

But now the biggest question is whether Eknath Shinde will agree to leave the post of Chief Minister? Shouldn’t this message be given by his Shiv Sena that even though his party has contested elections on some seats, his performance has been strong on all the seats he contested and the biggest thing is that he is the Chief Minister. The face of Mahayuti in the elections. Therefore, his post as Chief Minister should remain intact. Ultimately, it is because of his face that all the constituent parties of Mahayuti have been able to stand together and give a strong performance. It is natural that such demand and pressure comes from Shiv Sena. Therefore, Shiv Sena will not give up its claim on the post of CM so easily.

Amidst all this, posters were seen in Baramati on Friday demanding to make Ajit Pawar the Chief Minister, however, despite the strong performance of BJP and Shiv Sena, Ajit Pawar’s claim for the post of CM seems to be weakening.
