After the Maharashtra Assembly election results, there was suspense regarding government formation and the post of CM, but after the press conference of acting CM and Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde on Wednesday, the situation regarding government formation seems to be becoming clear. Sources say that there will be a BJP CM in Maharashtra and the existing system will remain i.e. there will be one CM and two Deputy CMs. Maharashtra NDA meeting will be held in Delhi on Thursday evening. The name of the leader of NDA in Maharashtra will also be decided in the meeting.
Let us tell you that at present Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde is the CM of the NDA government, while BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis and NCP leader Ajit Pawar are the Deputy Chief Ministers, but Mahayuti has achieved a record victory in the assembly elections. After that, the BJP central leadership wants that there should be a BJP Chief Minister in the state and an agreement has been reached with Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar regarding this. However, the final decision will be announced after the meeting in Delhi on Thursday.
Earlier on Wednesday, Eknath Shinde made it clear in a press conference that whatever decision will be taken by PM Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. They will approve. He will fully support the decision of the BJP leadership on the name of the next Chief Minister and will not become an obstacle in the process. After that, Eknath Shinde was praised in a press conference on behalf of Maharashtra BJP.
