The Maharashtra Assembly elections are just days away. At the same time, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis of the state has emphasized that no commitment has been given to anyone regarding the appointment of Chief Minister if the Mahayuti alliance emerges victorious. He has further explained that the selection process for the top position has already been determined. Elections are scheduled in the state for November 20 with vote tallying set for November 23.

In an interview with India Today, Fadnavis stated that there will be no changing of chief ministers after the Maharashtra assembly elections. No commitment has been given to anyone for this plan, as we already have a policy in place to select the next chief minister. He stated that none of us in our group, Eknath Shinde included, have requested for the position. All are certain that the judgement will be impartial.

Fadnavis commented on the Mahavikas Aghadi schemes, saying that they used to question our programs and funds in the past. Now they are committing to doubling the benefits provided by this administration. The Center is backing us. Who must provide support for these grand commitments?

Fadnavis supported the phrase ‘Batenge toh kattenge’. He also mentioned that his focus will be on development and public welfare matters. Speaking to the channel, he mentioned that it is perfectly normal to say ‘Batenge toh kattenge’. Disaster looms ahead for a society that is split. The Mahayuti campaign will center on development and welfare projects. Nevertheless, the opposing party is involved in the practice of appeasing political tactics…

According to an election official, 4,140 candidates remain in the race for 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra following the closure of the nomination withdrawal deadline on Monday. He mentioned that the number of candidates for the upcoming election, 4,140, is 28% higher than the 3,239 candidates who ran in the 2019 assembly elections. Authorities have announced that 420 candidates will run for election on 36 seats in Mumbai, with 303 candidates vying for 21 seats in Pune district.
