Eknath Shinde

On Thursday, Sanjay Raut took a dig at outgoing Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde after the MahaYuti alliance chose Devendra Fadnavis as new CM.

Ahead of today's swearing-in, caretaker CM & Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde extended his congratulations to CM-designate Devendra Fadnavis.

Shiv Sena spokesperson Sanjay Shirsat confirmed that CM Shinde would meet Deputy Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar later in the evening.

Caretaker CM and Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde was admitted to Jupiter Hospital on Tuesday due to fever and weakness, raising doubts about his participation in the Maharashtra Cabinet swearing-in scheduled for December 5.

Maharashtra's 31st Chief Minister is likely to be sworn in on 5 December at 1 PM at Azad Maidan, south Mumbai.

The formation of a new government in Maharashtra faced further delays as the MahaYuti meeting scheduled for Friday was cancelled. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde left for his native village Dare

Uncertainty remains over Maharashtra's next Chief Minister as Eknath Shinde agrees to follow Modi's decision.

Senior IPS officer Rashmi Shukla reappointed as Director General of Police (DGP) for Maharashtra after MahaYuti alliance's decisive victory in Maharashtra Assembly elections.

PM Modi expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the people of Maharashtra for the victory of the Mahayuti alliance.

As Mahayuti nears victory in 2024 Maharashtra elections, incumbent CM Eknath Shinde assured that the CM decision would be made collectively.
