Eknath Shinde the new Chief of Shiv Sena

• The Shiv Sena party of Maharashtra recently elected the Maharashtra Chief Minister as its new Chief. 

• The decision was made during the National Executive Meeting of the party.

• Shinde and the other 40 MLAs withdrew their support to CM Uddhav Thackeray. 

• They left for Assam creating high drama. Thackeray was supported only by 15 MLAs. And therefore, he resigned. After the resignation of Thackeray, they returned from Assam. 

• It was expected that Devendra Fadnavis of BJP will become the next CM. But surprisingly Eknath Shinde became the CM.
