Suspense over Maha CM: Devendra Fadnavis in Delhi amid Shiv Sena’s strong push for Eknath Shinde

More than 48 hours after the Mahayuti alliance secured a landslide win in the Maharashtra assembly elections, suspense over the next chief minister remains.

The formation of the new government, which looked like would take place immediately after the results poured in, has been delayed amid reports of Mahayuti partners bargaining hard for the top post.

The Mahayuti swept the polls to the 288-member assembly, with BJP bagging 132 seats, Shiv Sena getting 57 and 41 going into the kitty of the NCP.
