MLAs from across the alliance have gathered in Mumbai for the BJP's legislature party meeting, where the name of the Maharashtra CM is likely to be unveiled. Speculations are rife that Devendra Fadnavis, the BJP's trusted face in the state, could return as Chief Minister.

The oath-taking ceremony tomorrow promises to be a grand affair, with extensive security arrangements in place. Over 2,500 Mumbai Police personnel, along with the Task Force and armed police, have been deployed to ensure the event runs smoothly.

Eknath Shinde: Leader or Second Fiddle?

Eknath Shinde, the current caretaker CM, has been at the forefront of Maharashtra politics since his split from the Shiv Sena. However, whispers of discontent have surfaced regarding his role in the new government. Shinde’s recent health scare added fuel to the fire, with speculation suggesting he was unhappy with the alliance’s plans. His aides, however, dismissed these rumors, citing his hospital visit as a routine check-up.

A New Chapter for the Mahayuti Alliance

The Mahayuti’s resounding victory in the November 20 assembly elections has paved the way for a decisive new government. While whispers of internal dynamics persist, all eyes are now on tomorrow’s swearing-in. The coming together of Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde, and Ajit Pawar underscores a strategic coalition that aims to steer Maharashtra toward stability and progress.
