Who will be Maharashtra Chief Minister? Mahayuti key meets today amid suspense
A day after their resounding victory in the Maharashtra Assembly elections and amid the discussions over the Chief Minister post, the alliance partners of Mahayuti–BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP–are holding crucial meetings with MLA-elects on Sunday. The parties will be electing their respective legislative party leaders.
The BJP core committee meeting will be held at Devendra Fadnavis’ official residence in Mumbai, while Eknath Shinde has called a meeting with all newly elected MLAs at a hotel in Bandra. Meanwhile, the NCP Ajit Pawar camp is meeting at his official residence, Devgiri Bungalow, in Mumbai.
Following the separate party meetings, on Monday, all Mahayuti MLAs will gather for an alliance meeting to discuss the selection of Maharashtra’s next Chief Minister.
The incumbent Mahayuti alliance delivered a stunning performance in Maharashtra, winning 233 out of 288 seats and dealing a major blow to the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), reducing them to just 49 seats and rendering them unable to claim the post of Opposition Leader.
