"Mahayuti" stormed to power and Devendra Fadnavis became first BJP Chief minister of Maharashtra.

Raosaheb Danve indicated to the party leadership that he was willing to resign as a minister[4] and in January 2015 he was appointed as the President of Maharashtra BJP by Amit Shah, the national President of BJP. Raosaheb Danve is only the second person in Maharashtra BJP to hold this prestigious office while also being a Member of Parliament. Earlier, late Suryabhan Vahadane-Patil had successfully carried the dual responsibility.[citation needed]
