As the dust settles on Maharashtra’s Assembly elections, the suspense thickens around the next Chief Minister. With the BJP’s dominance and ongoing negotiations, will Eknath Shinde reclaim his position or will Devendra Fadnavis take the reins?

The new govt of Maharashtra is yet to be sworn in more than a week after the BJP-led NDA, also known as Mahayuti, clinched a landslide victory in state polls.

The name of Devendra Fadnavis has been finalised as the new chief minister of Maharashtra who will be elected as the legislature party leader in a meeting to be held either on December 2 or 3, a senior BJP leader claimed on Sunday night.

Amid continued suspense over who will succeed Eknath Shinde as Chief Minister of Maharashtra, a senior BJP leader on Sunday night said that the name of Devendra Fadnavis has been finalised. The claim was made by a senior party leader while speaking to news agency PTI.

Throughout the campaign during this election, his rivals contemptuously referred to Mr. Fadnavis as Annaji Pant, a controversial figure in Maratha history, who is considered a ‘traitor’ by many for conspiring against Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s son Chhatrapati Sambhaji, trying to get him killed.

BJP plans to announce Devendra Fadnavis as Maharashtra's new Chief Minister soon. As political negotiations continue, Shinde Sena demands Deputy CM and Home Ministry positions. The final decision rests with Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.

Amid the success of ‘The Sabarmati Report’, producers Ektaa R Kapoor and Amul Mohan recently met with BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis. While the team congratulated the minister on his remarkable victory in the Maharashtra elections,

The demand for naming Devendra Fadnavis as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra is growing. This time, posters have come up in Nagpur reinforcing the demand.

The BJP leader's statement has come hours after caretaker Chief Minister Eknath Shinde returned to Mumbai from his native village Dare Tamb, on Sunday evening.
