While Shinde has received support from several Shiv Sena leaders to continue as chief minister, the final decision will be taken in consultation with the BJP and NCP leadership. Both Devendra Fadnavis of the BJP and Shinde are seen as strong contenders for the post.
Speaking to reporters, Shinde shared, “I am content with the work we have achieved in the last 2.5 years. Yesterday, I spoke with Prime Minister Modi and conveyed that whatever decision he makes, we will accept it. I also called Home Minister Shah and assured him of my support for their decision.”
Shinde credited the Mahayuti alliance, comprising the BJP, Shiv Sena, and Ajit Pawar-led NCP, for completing several halted projects initiated under the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. "Works halted by the MVA were finished by Mahayuti," he added, underlining the alliance's dedication to development.
