Eknath Shinde resigned as Maharashtra Chief Minister on Tuesday but will continue as caretaker CM until a new leader is chosen. The BJP-led Mahayuti coalition won 235 of 288 seats in the recent Assembly elections, but there is no consensus on the next CM. Shiv Sena wants Shinde to stay, crediting him for the success of schemes like Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana. However, the BJP, which secured 132 seats, its best-ever in Maharashtra, is backing Devendra Fadnavis for the role. Discussions are ongoing to finalize the leadership for the new government.
