Assembly elections have been announced in Maharashtra. Meanwhile, there is a tussle for the post of chief minister in both the ruling and opposition alliances. In the Mahayuti, bjp, Eknath Shinde's shiv sena and Ajit Pawar's ncp are not openly staking claim, but the leaders of all three parties have expressed their desire. They say that the decision will be taken after the elections. More or less the same situation is in the Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA) as well.
Recently, chief minister Eknath Shinde, while talking to ABP Live, on the question of cm face, said that our team will contest the elections together. We will first work as a team to win the elections and then see who will be the CM? During this, he did not deny his claim.
