Maharashtra Chief Minister and Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde expressed his gratitude to the voters of Maharashtra, calling the alliance’s victory a "landslide." He had earlier predicted that Mahayuti would secure a resounding win and thanked all sections of society for their support. As Mahayuti is set to form the government, Shinde and party leaders celebrate sweets (ladoos). Speaking on the formation of the new government, Shinde stated, "Let the final results come in. Then, just as we fought the elections together, all three parties will sit together and take a decision on who will be the Chief Minister." His comments reflect the collaborative approach the alliance will take in finalizing the leadership.
