Eknath Shinde's Grip on Maharashtra: From Rebel to Ruler

India Today  

Eknath Shinde's political ascent in Maharashtra is evident from the recent election results. Despite being overshadowed by the BJP in the past, he emerged as the undisputed leader of the Mahayuti alliance and the Chief Minister. His populist schemes and hands-on approach to governance have allowed him to solidify his position and gain the trust of the BJP's top leadership. The election results show that Shinde's Shiv Sena achieved an impressive strike rate of 46%, securing 7 out of the 15 seats it contested. This victory has cemented his status as the most influential figure in Maharashtra politics.
