Reportedly 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.
Perhaps 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. At the same time, deputy cm devendra fadnavis said in a conversation with Republic tv that there is no dispute in the Mahayuti regarding the face of the Chief Minister. Senior bjp leader fadnavis said, "Chief minister Eknath Shinde is the head of the government and we are going to the elections keeping this government in mind. After the elections, shiv sena President Eknath Shinde, ncp President ajit pawar and our parliamentary board will decide on this. Whatever is decided in this will be acceptable to everyone." When deputy chief minister and ncp President ajit pawar was questioned about this, he said that I do not want to create any new controversy by commenting on this.
When talking to reporters he said, "Our first goal is to ensure that the Mahayuti gets maximum seats." ajit pawar has expressed his desire to become the chief minister ajit pawar has been expressing his desire to become the chief minister from time to time, although his party is far behind in numbers. Sources said that bjp is likely to contest 150 to 160 seats out of 288 seats in Maharashtra. shiv sena is demanding more than 100 seats in the Mahayuti and ncp is demanding more than 60 seats. It is believed that shiv sena can get 90 to 95 seats and ncp can get 40 to 45 seats.
