Reportedly shiv sena spokesperson naresh Mahaske mentioned the bihar formula in Maharashtra. On Monday, he said that we feel that Eknath Shinde should be the CM. He said that in bihar, bjp did not look at the numbers and made JDU leader Nitish Kumar the CM. Speculation about the chief minister's post in maharashtra started when the Devendra Fadnavis-led bjp won the highest number of 132 seats in the state. At the same time, Eknath Shinde-led shiv sena won 57 seats. According to a PTI report, Mahaske compared the situation to the leadership dynamics in Haryana, where the bjp recently contested the assembly elections under the leadership of Nayab Singh Saini. The assembly elections in maharashtra were fought under the leadership of Eknath Shinde, devendra fadnavis and Ajit Pawar. He said, "This shows that the leadership of the alliance should be respected."
Meanwhile on shiv sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut's claim that bjp can use Shinde and throw him out after its purpose is fulfilled, Mhaske stressed on the popularity of Eknath Shinde. He said, "Eknath Shinde has established himself as a common man. He is the most popular leader in some recent surveys." Defending his party's claim for the post, he said that his name is at the forefront. However, while talking to the media, shiv sena spokesperson Mhaske also said that senior leaders of Mahayuti in maharashtra will take the final decision on this.
Moreover maharashtra Minister of State Kesarkar met Shinde at his residence in mumbai on sunday (November 24) and advocated for him to continue as CM. Speaking to the media, Kesarkar said, "Shiv Sena MLAs believe that Shinde should continue in the post because under his leadership, Mahayuti did a very good job and performed brilliantly in the elections." However, he said that Eknath Shinde, devendra fadnavis and ajit pawar will take a unanimous decision on the cm issue. Kesarkar, who won from Sawantwadi constituency, said, whatever the decision, it will be in the interest of Maharashtra.
