More than a week has passed since the Mahayuti alliance, comprising the BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP, won a landslide majority in the Maharashtra polls. However, the new government is yet to be sworn in. The BJP is proceeding cautiously, primarily due to the high aspirations of its allies, especially the Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde, who have grown more ambitious after the significant electoral win.
Eknath Shinde, the caretaker Chief Minister of Maharashtra, has stated that he will fully support the decision taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the new Chief Minister. Shinde's son, Shrikant Shinde, is expected to be given the deputy CM's post, with the Shiv Sena likely to stake a claim on the Home portfolio. A final decision on the distribution of portfolios will be made after reaching a consensus among all the Mahayuti partners.
Speculations of disagreements between the Mahayuti allies arose when Shinde left for his village in Satara, where he developed a high fever. In response to queries about his health, the Shiv Sena chief reassured everyone that he was fine and had traveled to his native village to rest. He emphasized that there were no differences among the Mahayuti allies and noted that the BJP had yet to announce its legislature party leader.
The Shiv Sena and NCP have named Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar as their respective legislature party leaders. The oath-taking ceremony is scheduled to take place on December 5 at Azad Maidan in Mumbai, as announced by state BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also be present at the swearing-in ceremony.
The Mahayuti alliance secured a total of 230 seats out of the 288 available in the state. The BJP emerged as the single largest party with 132 seats, while the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena won 57 seats, and the Ajit Pawar-led NCP bagged 41 seats.
