Maharashtra's New CM Likely to Be Devendra Fadnavis

Following the NDA's landslide victory in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, discussions about the state's next Chief Minister are gaining momentum. BJP leader Pravin Darekar has hinted that Devendra Fadnavis is the frontrunner for the CM position.

Key Developments

The Mahayuti coalition, led by the BJP, has crossed the double-century mark, securing a historic win in over 220 seats.

BJP emerged as the dominant force, with the public rejecting the opposition's promises and expressing strong support for the NDA's welfare policies and development agenda.
Opposition's Setback

The Mahavikas Aghadi's (MVA) promises of monthly stipends for women, free bus services, and other schemes failed to resonate with voters. The BJP attributes its success to the ground-level outreach and the electorate's faith in the Modi-Fadnavis leadership.

Darekar's Remarks

Pravin Darekar highlighted that the NDA's welfare and development focus, coupled with strong leadership, swayed voters. He stated that people believed a BJP-led government would ensure faster progress, especially with the BJP already in power at the center.

While an official announcement is awaited, Devendra Fadnavis, known for his leadership and administrative track record, is widely expected to take charge as Maharashtra's Chief Minister.
