Earlier there was news that Shiv Sena is putting pressure on BJP to make Eknath Shinde the CM of Maharashtra again. Shiv Sena is arguing that by making Shinde the CM again, public votes will be in favor of Mahayuti in many local elections including BMC. Earlier, on November 23, on the victory of Mahayuti in Maharashtra election results, Eknath Shinde had said that the Ladki Bahin scheme implemented there was his brainchild. It is believed that the Ladki Bahin Yojana has played a big role in the victory of Mahayuti. However, in the grand alliance, BJP has won the maximum 132 seats. Whereas, Shinde’s Shiv Sena has won 57 seats.
