The Mahayuti– a coalition of BJP, Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar-led NCP– secured a massive victory on this month’s elections, winning 230 seats in the 288-member assembly.Despite their victory, consensus has eluded the ruling combine’s leaders so far on who should be the next CM.TNIE reported on Monday that Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis is likely to be the new chief minister of the state, after the Ajit Pawar-led NCP had reportedly conveyed to BJP leadership that they have no objections to his name. However, the stance of the Shinde-led Shiv Sena remains unclear, they added.Shinde’s supporters have been saying that he should continue as CM as the landslide win was achieved under his leadership.Leaders of the BJP, which recorded its highest ever tally in the state assembly elections, have been pitching for Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis to take oath at the CM for a third time.In the recent assembly elections, the BJP secured 132 seats, while allies Shiv Sena and NCP won 57 and 41 seats respectively.
