Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde urged his supporters to refrain from gathering outside Varsha Niwas, the official residence of the Chief Minister, or any other location in his support.
"After the great victory of Mahayutti, our government will be formed once again in the state. As a grand alliance, we contested the election together and are still together today. Out of love for me, some congregations have appealed to everyone to gather together and come to Mumbai. I am deeply grateful for your love", said CM Eknath Shinde in a post X.

But I appeal that no one should come together in my support in such a manner. Once again it is my humble request that Shiv Sena workers should not assemble at Varsha Niwas or anywhere else. The grand alliance has been and will continue to be strong for a strong and prosperous Maharashtra, Shinde further said.
The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance has secured a decisive victory in the Maharashtra Assembly election 2024, ensuring its continued hold on power in the state. The NDA coalition achieved a commanding majority with 235 seats in the 288-member assembly. According to data from the Election Commission of India, the BJP emerged as the dominant force, winning 132 seats, while Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena secured 57 seats and Ajit Pawar's NCP won 41 seats.
