Mumbai: Union Home Minister Amit Shah was thanked by BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Friday for his assistance during the Maharashtra Assembly elections. Fadnavis gave Shah credit for encouraging and motivating the party workers throughout the polls in a post on X.
“I would like to thank Union Minister Amitbhai Shah for his tremendous support on the battlefield during the crucial Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha Elections in 2024, as well as for his strong motivation and inspiration of the Karykartas.” Ajitdada Pawar, Eknath Shinde ji, our BJP National President JP Nadda ji, #MahaYuti leaders, and comrades were also in New Delhi on this occasion,” the BJP politician said on X.
On Thursday, Amit Shah and BJP national president JP Nadda met with Maharashtra interim chief minister Eknath Shinde, Fadnavis, NCP President Ajit Pawar, and other Mahayuti politicians in Delhi.
Eknath Shinde said that the meeting with Shah and Nadda was “good and positive” and that a decision about the Chief Minister’s successor will likely be made at a subsequent meeting.
“The meeting went well and was constructive. The first meeting was this one. We had a conversation with JP Nadda and Amit Shah.There will be another Mahayuti gathering. The appointment of the Chief Minister will be decided during this meeting. “Mumbai will host the meeting,” he said.
The politicians convened to discuss the creation of Maharashtra’s new government.
Prior to this, Fadnavis said that there were no internal conflicts within the Mahayuti coalition and that the leaders would be consulted before a decision was taken about the Chief Minister.
“There has never been a difference of opinion in our Mahayuti alliance,” Fadnavis told the journalists. Historically, we have always decided as a group. We said before the elections that, after the outcome, a collaborative decision will be made on the Chief Minister’s position. A few individuals had questions, but today Eknath Shinde ji answered them. We will meet with our leaders shortly to make a final decision.
Although the results of the Maharashtra Assembly election were announced on November 23, the dominant Mahayuti coalition, headed by the Bharatiya Janata Party, has not yet decided on a chief minister.
In the 280-member Maharashtra Assembly, the BJP gained 132 seats, making it the biggest party. Its partners, the NCP under Ajit Pawar and the Shiv Sena under Eknath Shinde, won 41 and 57 seats, respectively.
