Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde resigned on Tuesday, paving the way for BJP senior leader Devendra Fadnavis to take the lead for the top post, following the ruling Mahayuti alliance’s landslide victory in the recent assembly election. The BJP emerged as the single-largest party, securing 132 of the 148 seats it contested. Its ally, Shiv Sena, won 57 seats, while Ajit Pawar’s National Congress Party (NCP) won 41 seats. In contrast, the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) suffered a major defeat. Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena (UBT) won just 20 seats, Congress secured 16, and the NCP(SP) led by Sharad Pawar managed only 10 seats.
Shinde, accompanied by his deputies Fadnavis and Pawar, met Governor C.P. Radhakrishnan to tender his resignation. The Governor has asked Shinde to continue as caretaker chief minister until a new appointment is made.
