Maharashtra assembly polls: Not many options for Shiv Sena if BJP keeps CM’s post

The Shinde camp was reportedly unhappy with the BJP's growing political aspirations. Sources suggest Shinde effectively led a development-focused government and bolstered MLAs' re-election prospects. The leadership change, however, has left the outgoing CM with limited choices. The BJP's significant presence and a potential alliance with Ajit Pawar on leadership pose challenges. Smaller political groups face potential fragmentation.
