Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde resigned as Chief Minister of Maharashtra on Tuesday amid suspense over Mahayuti's choice of the next contender for the top job. Shinde tendered his resignation to Governor CP Radhakrishnan at the Raj Bhavan in Mumbai. His deputies, Ajit Pawar and Devendra Fadnavis, were also present.
However, Shinde will continue to serve as the caretaker Chief minister until a new government is formed. The BJP-led Mahayuti coalition won a landslide victory in the elections, bagging 235 seats in the 288-member Assembly.
