The result of the 2024 Maharashtra election settled – the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance has all but sealed a thumping victory over the Congress’ Maha Vikas Aghadi combine – the focus is now on who will succeed Eknath Shinde as Chief Minister.

Alliance leaders, he said, had been instructed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah that the Chief Minister will be selected after a consultation between all.
