Amid ongoing speculation about Maharashtra's next Chief Minister, outgoing CM Eknath Shinde has reportedly appealed to his supporters not to gather at his official residence, 'Varsha,' in South Mumbai, to advocate for his continuation in the role.
In a social media message, Shinde remarked, "Following the resounding victory of the Mahayuti alliance, our government will once again take shape in the state. We contested the elections as a united grand alliance and remain united today."
He further added, "I am deeply grateful for the love and support some people have shown by urging others to gather in Mumbai for me. However, I sincerely request everyone to refrain from assembling in my support in this manner."
