After the assembly elections in maharashtra are over, only one question is roaming in the political streets of the state and that is who will become the next chief minister of Maharashtra.

In the maharashtra assembly elections, Mahayuti got a historic victory with 230 seats. In this, bjp got the maximum 132, shiv sena Shinde faction 57 and ncp sharad pawar got 41 seats.

Meanwhile, in Delhi, Union minister Ramdas Athawale said about the cm data-face that the bjp leadership has decided to make devendra fadnavis the chief minister for the third time, but this has not been confirmed by the party yet. He also said that Eknath Shinde should be sent to the Center.
Regarding the chief minister in maharashtra, shiv sena leaders say that the assembly elections were fought and won under the leadership of Shinde, so Eknath Shinde should be made the Chief Minister.
On the other hand, bjp leaders claim that the public has given the maximum number of seats to our party, so the cm should be from their party.
