Maharashtra caretaker Chief Minister and Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde on Wednesday expressed unwavering confidence in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leadership, stating that he will accept any decision made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the chief ministerial post.

Amid speculation over Maharashtra's next Chief Minister, Eknath Shinde assures support for BJP's decision in a press conference.

A circle of fate is in the making in Maharashtra as the state is once again witnessing a 2022 political event in which then front runner for chief minister post and former CM Devendra Fadnavis agreed to become deputy to his ally Shiv Sena's Eknath Shinde.

The race for the Chief Minister’s post in Maharashtra remains uncertain following a decisive victory for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA)

Maharashtra caretaker CM Eknath Shinde said that Devendra Fadnavis, Ajit Pawar and he would attend a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Thursday where a discussion would be held on the next CM.

The BJP on its own walked away with 132 seats followed by Shiv Sena with 57 and Ajit Pawar led NCP with 41 seats. Ajit Pawar already declared that his party will support Fadnavis for the top job in the state.

Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde today (27 November) claimed that he has left the decision to choose Maharashtra Chief Minister (CM) to Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

The BJP, according to sources, is working on a formula where Fadnavis will be the new CM. While Shinde and Nationalist Congress Party's (NCP's) Ajit Pawar will be the two deputy CMs

Eknath Shinde called PM Modi the head of the family. He said the BJP leadership mustn't consider him an obstacle in government formation.

Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske has said the Shinde camp is open to accepting Devendra Fadnavis as Maharashtra's chief minister if decided by the Mahayuti alliance.
