The Government of Maharashtra is the executive governing authority of the Indian state of Maharashtra. The government is led by the chief minister (currently Eknath Shinde since 30 June 2022) who selects all the other ministers. The state has had a Shiv Sena-led government since 2022. The chief ministers and their most senior ministers belong to the supreme decision-making committee, known as the Cabinet.
Ministers are responsible to the House in which they sit; they make statements in that House and take questions from members of that House. For most senior ministers this is usually the directly elected Legislative Assembly rather than the indirectly elected Legislative Council. The government is dependent on the Legislature to make primary legislation, and general elections are held every five years (at most) to elect a new Legislative Assembly. After an election, the Governor selects as chief minister the leader of the party or alliance commanding the confidence of the Legislative Assembly, usually by possessing a majority of MLAs.
On 30 June 2022 Eknath Shinde was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra on 30 June 2022, on resignation of his predecessor Uddhav Thackeray. Shinde leads a government consisting of his Shiv Sena (Shinde group) party, Nationalist Congress Party (Ajit Pawar group) and Bharatiya Janata Party as Eknath Shinde ministry

Maharashtra is India's third largest state by area and has over 112 million inhabitants. Its capital, Mumbai, has a population of approximately 18 million; Nagpur is Maharashtra's second, or winter, capital. Government in the state is organized on the parliamentary system. Power is devolved to large city councils, district councils, subdistrict (taluka) councils, and village parish councils. The numerically strong Maratha–Kunbi community dominates the state's politics. The state has national and regional parties serving different demographics, such as those based on religion, caste, and urban and rural residents.
The Maharashtra Legislative Assembly is the lower house of the bicameral legislature of Maharashtra state in western India. It consists of 288 members directly elected from single-seat constituencies. The Assembly meets at Vidhan Bhavan in Mumbai, though the winter session is held in Nagpur. Along with the Maharashtra Legislative Council, it comprises the legislature of Maharashtra. The presiding officer of the Assembly is the Speaker. Members of the Assembly are directly elected by the people of Maharashtra through elections held every five years, unless the Assembly is dissolved earlier. The current Assembly was elected in October 2019.
Although a parliamentary democracy, Indian politics has increasingly become dynastic, possibly due to the absence of a party organization, independent civil society associations that mobilize support for the party, and centralized financing of elections. Family members have also led the Congress party for most of the period since 1978 when Indira Gandhi floated the then Congress(I) faction of the party. It also is fairly common in many political parties in Maharashtra. The dynastic phenomenon is seen from national level down to district level and even village level.The three-tier structure of Panchayati Raj established in the 1960s also helped to create and consolidate the dynastic phenomenon in rural areas. Apart from government,political families also control cooperative institutions, mainly cooperative sugar factories,district cooperative banks in the state, and since the 1980s private for profit colleges. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party also features several senior leaders who are dynasts. In Maharashtra, the NCP has particularly high level of dynasticism.
