Maharashtra's caretaker Chief Minister Eknath Shinde signaled a potential change in leadership, stating his willingness to accept the decision of Prime Minister Modi and Amit Shah regarding the next CM.

Shinde said he has conveyed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that whoever is elected as the CM by the Mahayuti alliance, Shiv Sainiks will support him.

Two days after the results of the Maharashtra Assembly elections, which saw the ruling Mahayuti sweeping the polls, there is still no word about who the new chief minister is. However, speculations are rife that deliberations in Delhi have gained pace in favour of BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis.

The governor asked Shinde to act as a caretaker chief minister till a new CM is sworn in. The suspense over the chief minister's face continued despite the Mahayuti alliance securing a massive win.

In Bihar, the NDA is in power with JD (U) leader Nitish Kumar as Chief Minister, even though the BJP holds more seats in the state Assembly. Addressing speculation about adopting a similar model in Maharashtra, BJP spokesperson Prem Shukla rejected the idea, citing the party's robust organisational structure and leadership.

Shiv Sena on Tuesday said that Eknath Shinde should continue as Maharashtra CM following MahaYuti’s landslide victory in the Assembly election.

After Mahayuti's landslide victory, suspense over the next chief minister will continue. There are speculations around Devendra Fadnavis taking over the next state chief minister.

The BJP is moving decisively to reinstate Devendra Fadnavis as Maharashtra Chief Minister, despite opposition from ally Shiv Sena, which backs Eknath Shinde's continuation. The NCP’s Ajit Pawar faction supports Fadnavis's return,
