The Mahayuti in Maharashtra stormed to power winning 230 of the state’s 288 Assembly seats and the suspense over who would be the next Chief Minister is likely to end on Wednesday.
Since its victory, there have been conflicting voices within the alliance with a section of the BJP as well as the Shiv Sena pushing for Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde, respectively.
The suspense got deeper on Tuesday after Shinde resigned as CM and was asked to continue as caretaker CM by Governor C P Radhakrishnan.
