When Shinde led his midnight rebellion against Uddhav Thackeray's Maha Vikas Aghadi government on the intervening night of June 22-23, 2022, and traveled with his MLAs to Surat and then Guwahati, most of the rebel Sena MLAs had held Ajit Pawar responsible for sidelining them in allocation of 'development funds'.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Mahayuti alliance is likely to announce the next CM later in the day, and the swearing-in ceremony will take place on Thursday (December 5).
