Eknath Shinde resigned as Maharashtra Chief Minister amid suspense over the Mahayuti coalition’s choice for his successor. He submitted his resignation to Governor CP Radhakrishnan, with deputies Ajit Pawar and Devendra Fadnavis present. Despite the coalition’s landslide win with 235 seats, no consensus has been reached, with Shiv Sena backing Shinde and BJP pushing for Fadnavis.
