During this, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and Devendra Fadnavis were also present. Let us tell you that the grand alliance of BJP, Shiv Sena and NCP has emerged victorious in the Maharashtra Assembly elections. Now the alliance is likely to stake claim to form a new government soon. Mahayuti has got 232 seats in the 288-member assembly.
Meanwhile, Shiv Sena MPs will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday. Shiv Sena MPs will demand from PM Modi to keep Eknath Shinde as CM. Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske, citing the example of Bihar and Haryana, has expressed hope that Shinde will be made the CM. Mhaske said, ‘I believe that just like in Bihar, despite less seats, Nitish Kumar was made the CM and elections were fought on the face of Saini and BJP made him the Chief Minister there, the same will be done in Maharashtra too.’
