‘No decision yet’
Eknath Shinde was beaming with joy as he spoke to the media after the trends showed Mahayuti ahead of the Opposition alliances. “We haven’t decided yet,” he said when asked about the CM's face.
The incumbent CM said, “Let the final results come in. Then, in the same way as we fought elections together, all three parties will sit together and take a decision (on who will be the CM).”
“I thank the voters of Maharashtra. This is a landslide victory. I had said before that Mahayuti will get a thumping victory. I thank all sections of society and all the workers of the Mahayuti parties,” he added.
This is a big win, CM Eknath Shinde stated that "just as the alliance fought the elections together, they will collectively decide on the CM face once the final results are declared on Saturday."

Meanwhile, celebrations have also started in Baramati, where Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP leader Ajit Pawar is leading by 15,382 votes. Supporters were seen bursting crackers to mark the moment.
At Devagiri, Nationalist Congress Party’s National President and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Dada Pawar, National Working President MP Praful Patel, and State President MP Sunil Tatkare were also seen participating in the celebrations.
Reacting to the results, Congress leader Supriya Shrinate admitted, “Maharashtra election results are opposite to our (Congress’) expectations. There is no doubt we could have done better.
Our campaign was good, but maybe the public expects more from us, and we will deliver on their expectations.”
In response to the results, Shiv Sena UBT leader Sanjay Raut said, “This cannot be the decision of the people of Maharashtra. We know what the people of Maharashtra want.”
