Even as the Maharashtra assembly poll results were declared on November 23, the Mahayuti alliance, which has emerged victorious with absolute majority, is yet to decide on the choice of the next chief minister for 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.

After withdrawing from the CM's race, Eknath Shinde said that the modalities of forming the next government will be finalised in the meeting at Delhi on Thursday.

Eknath Shinde on Wednesday dropped enough hints to suggest the return of BJP chief minister in Maharashtra as he announced that his party Shiv Sena will support any candidate decided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah as the next leader of the Mahayuti.

Eknath Shinde will respect the NDA's choice for Maharashtra's next CM. Devendra Fadnavis is the likely candidate. Shinde emphasized his commitment to public service. The Mahayuti alliance won a resounding victory.

Shiv Sena Chief and Maharashtra caretaker CM Eknath Shinde on Wednesday broke silence amid ongoing statement and speculations over the new Chief Minister of the state and said that he and his party will agree with the decision taken by PM Modi and BJP leadership.
