The BJP-Shiv Sena partnership was particularly significant, as the two parties shared a long-standing ideological affinity. The alliance aimed to consolidate their combined strength by leveraging Shiv Sena's regional influence and the BJP's national appeal.

Under the Maha Yuti banner, the alliance achieved several notable successes, including winning the 2014 Maharashtra Assembly elections and securing 41 out of 48 Lok Sabha seats in the state. However, internal tensions and disagreements over power-sharing led to Shiv Sena's departure in 2019.^[7]

The alliance was revived in 2022 following the dissolution of the MVA government,^[8] Resulting a faction of Shiv Sena joining Maha Yuti alliance and forming the Government under the leadership of Eknath Shinde from rebel Shiv Sena (2022–Present) swearing in as the chief minister while Devendra Fadnavis from BJP took oath as deputy chief minister. later in year 2023 the NCP faction broke with one remaining in MVA while Ajit Pawar led faction joined MahaYuti Government with Ajit Pawar swearing in as second deputy chief minister of Maharashtra. The MY alliance got a huge setback in 2024 Lok Sabha Polls where it could only secure 17 out of 48 seats losing 24 sitting seats.

The MahaYuti won the 2024 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election in a landslide, securing 235 seats. Two independents also lent support to the alliance, extending its tally to 237.
