Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Monday won the trust vote in the state assembly. According to the PTI, after winning the trust vote, CM Shinde said, he had been suppressed for a long time and the rebellion led by him was a fallout of the unfair treatment meted out to him, an apparent reference to his old association with the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena.

Shinde, along with many other Shiv Sena MLAs culminated in the collapse of the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government. Shinde took oath as the chief minister on June 30 with Maharashtra BJP leader, Devendra Fadnavis as his deputy.
