Devendra Fadnavis clears the air on the Chief Minister's post after Mahayuti's win in Maharashtra, stating that a decision will be made soon by BJP leadership.

Fadnavis also spoke on the mass movement by the oppositions on the Electronic Vending Machines (EVMs) and said that the Supreme Court had already given an answer to the question and further added that the EVM system would continue.

BJP insiders believe prime portfolios are non-negotiable since the party has secured a massive mandate in Maharashtra Assembly elections.

Devendra Fadnavis is likely to meet Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP President JP Nadda to discuss the modalities of the formation of the next government in Mahrashtra. Fadnavis is considered as the front runner for the post of the chief minister,

After Mahayuti's landslide victory, suspense over the next chief minister will continue. There are speculations around Devendra Fadnavis taking over the next state chief minister.

Given the decisive results, with the BJP bagging an overwhelming 132 seats, followed by Shiv Sena (57) and NCP (41), it is learnt that the BJP leadership in Delhi is not happy with the “pressure tactics” adopted by Shinde supporters to make him Chief Minister again.

The BJP, according to sources, is working on a formula where Fadnavis will be the new CM. While Shinde and Nationalist Congress Party's (NCP's) Ajit Pawar will be the two deputy CMs

Ramdas Athawale said the Maharashtra dispute should end soon as BJP's high command has decided that Devendra Fadnavis should be made the CM but Eknath Shinde is unhappy and his displeasure needs to be removed.
