The NCP has also announced its support for Fadnavis as the chief minister.Notably, MahaYuti outperformed their opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in the Assembly polls by winning 234 of the total 288 seats. Of these, the BJP secured 132 seats, Shiv Sena (Shinde) won 57 seats, and the NCP won 41 seats.(With inputs from syndicated feed)Also read:<a href="https://english.gujaratsamachar.com/news/national/fadnavis-likely-to-maharashtras-next-cm-ajit-pawar-shinde-to-be-deputies" target="_blank">Fadnavis likely to Maharashtra’s next CM, Ajit Pawar, Shinde to be deputies</a>
