Maharashtra's Political Power Shift: Mahayuti's Landslide Win

Maharashtra sees a significant political shift as the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance triumphs with 235 seats in the Assembly, marking a decisive victory. Devendra Fadnavis is set to lead as Chief Minister, with key figures like Ajit Pawar and Eknath Shinde expected to assume deputy roles under the double-engine governance.

The Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Pushkar Singh Dhami, joined the ranks of political figures converging in Mumbai for the swearing-in ceremony of Maharashtra's new government. Applauding the alliance, CM Dhami expressed optimism about the performance of the 'double-engine' government under the leadership of Devendra Fadnavis.

Rajasthan's Deputy Chief Minister Dr Premchand Bairwa and Madhya Pradesh's Deputy CM Jagdish Deora also extended their congratulations to Maharashtra's incoming Mahayuti government. Bihar's CM Nitish Kumar and Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary were among other prominent attendees.

Security was tightened around Azad Maidan, where Chief Minister-designate Devendra Fadnavis offered prayers before the oath-taking ceremony. Set against the backdrop of BJP-led Mahayuti's landslide victory in the Maharashtra Assembly Elections, this political gathering marks a new chapter in the state's governance.
