After a decisive victory in the elections of the Assembly of the Maharashtra, the Mahayuti faces an enigma: who should lead the State – becoming Fadnavis or Eknath Shinde? Two days to the results, the alliance led by the Bharatiya Janata (BJP) party has not yet announced its ministerial choice in chief of Maharashtra.
The Mahayuti returned to power in the western state, the BJP emerging as the single party with 132 out of 288 seats out of 288. Its allies – the SHIV SENA led by EKNATH SHINDE and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) of AJIT PAWAR – have won 57 and 41 seats respectively. The opposition, Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), won only 46 seats in total.
In the wake of BJP’s stellar performance, Fadnavis is considered a favorite for work Maharashtra CM. However, according to reports, Shinde is not ready to abandon the higher post.
Let’s take a closer look.
Mahayuti dilemma: Fadnavis vs Shinde?
Many BJP leaders have asked that Fadnavis be chosen as CM from the Maharashtra after the impressive party performance in the polls.
He would have scripted the BJP’s great victory in the polls of the Assembly after the lamentable performance of the Lok Sabha elections.
Although Fadnavis is the obvious choice, it is not a matter. Shinde, the outgoing minister -in -chief, does not yet seem in mood to abandon the post – for the moment.
SHIV SENA leaders argue that Shinde should continue as CM while the state went to the polls with his face. They also attribute the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana, a program providing financial assistance to poor women, for the victory of Mahayuti.
About CNN-News18 Sources, the NCP of Ajit Pawar supported Fadnavis for the CM Post, after a meeting of Sunday, November 24.
Sources have added that the Mahayuti government will continue the formula of a CM and two cm assistants.

There is information that Fadnavis, Pawar and Shinde are likely to meet the Minister of the Union Amit Shah today in Delhi. Discussions on the chief ministry of the rotation could also arise, reported NDTV.
Shiv Sena’s candidate Sanjay Shirsat said: “Chances are the Mahayuti leaders going to Delhi on Monday. Each party worker wants his party leader to be the leader, but the final decision lies in Ekanth Shinde, will become Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar. “”
Sunday, the leader of the Maharashtra BJP, Chandrashekhar Bawankule, said that the party leaders and the leaders of Mahayuti will appeal to the choice of the Maharashtra CM.
What are the chances of Fadnavis to be the CM of Maharashtra?
There is a growing feeling within the BJP so that Fadnavis claims the chief ministry, that many believe that it must sacrifice in 2022 for Shinde.
He also likes the support of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for the first job. After the debacle of Lok Sabha’s survey in Maharashtra, Fadnavis approached the RSS by asking for help to counter the story of the MVA according to which the BJP opposed the constitution and the presumed consolidation of the votes on Caste and religious lines against the Safran party, reported, reported Indian Express.
The RSS, the ideological parent of the BJP, this time directed the efforts to mobilize sustained voters.
An RSS / BJP senior official, on condition of anonymity, said Indian Express“The concern of the RSS is that the Maharashtra, with such a massive mandate, should have a competent administrator and visionary who can direct the state with a firm hand.”
During the campaign, the Minister of the Interior of the Union, Shah, said that the partners Mahayuti sit together to decide the next CM. However, he also mentioned that people wanted the “return of the Mahayuti and Fadnavis”.
However, the Fadnavis road is not clear because the management of the BJP must also keep in mind its “coalition dharma”.
According to reports, some in the party support the conservation of Shinde as chief minister for the moment, while adapting Fadnavis at the national level as a national president of the BJP.
A senior BJP official said Indian Express That the “image” of the party as a coalition partner could suffer if Shinde is replaced after the alliance went to polls with it as CM. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always believed that we must make sure that the alliance partners trust the BJP despite the fact that it is the wider part. So we are going to think twice before deciding. BJP management will certainly do nothing to create mistrust or lose the goodwill of its partners in the
National Democratic Alliance (NDA) as we are a coalition government at the center, “added this chief.
The identity of Fadnavis Brahmane could also be a factor to decide the CM side. In this case, he could lose against the chief of Maratha Shinde.
While the Marathas represent 30% of the population of the State, the Brahmans represent approximately 10%.
Shinde, who hesitates to leave the CM Post, argues that his continuation in the first job could benefit Mahayuti in the next local ballot boxes, including the key elections of British Municipal Corporation (BMC), announced sources Times of India (you).
Even if the BJP goes ahead with Fadnavis like the face of the CM, upsetting Shiv Sena, the party has the mandate to do so. He only needs the support of one of his allies to form the government.
However, it is more likely that the BJP assumes Shinde through wardrobe posts rather than isolate it.
