Amid ongoing deliberations over the next Maharashtra Chief Minister, outgoing CM Eknath Shinde's son, Shrikant Shinde, has clarified that he is not in contention for the Deputy Chief Minister post and has no intentions of accepting a Union Minister role either.

The new govt of Maharashtra is yet to be sworn in more than a week after the BJP-led NDA, also known as Mahayuti, clinched a landslide victory in state polls.

The name of Devendra Fadnavis has been finalised as the new chief minister of Maharashtra who will be elected as the legislature party leader in a meeting to be held either on December 2 or 3, a senior BJP leader claimed on Sunday night.

BJP plans to announce Devendra Fadnavis as Maharashtra's new Chief Minister soon. As political negotiations continue, Shinde Sena demands Deputy CM and Home Ministry positions. The final decision rests with Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.

Amid continued suspense over who will succeed Eknath Shinde as Chief Minister of Maharashtra, a senior BJP leader on Sunday night said that the name of Devendra Fadnavis has been finalised. The claim was made by a senior party leader while speaking to news agency PTI.

Fadnavis has led the BJP to 100-plus seats for the third time; this time, the party won 10 seats more than it did in 2014

Amid growing suspense over the next chief minister of Maharashtra, BJP leader Raosaheb Danve on Sunday confirmed that the name has been finalised, with only an official approval awaited from the senior party leadership.
