Mahayuti leaders Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar
Once again a rift began in Maharashtra politics regarding the post of CM. Leaders of the BJP, which won the maximum number of seats, want Devendra Fadnavis to become Chief Minister. At the same time, Shiv Sena MLAs believe that Mahayuti should elect Eknath Shinde as Chief Minister as before. Fadnavis’s supporters said, “We, BJP leaders, MLAs and workers wish that Devendra Fadnavis becomes the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. Devendra Fadnavis had done an excellent job as Chief Minister for five years, it was in his face that the government came to power again in 2019. Shinde is from Shiv Sena. The leaders may feel that their leader should become CM, but the decision will be taken only by the senior leaders of the three parties and. Fadnavis is our choice.
There is resentment in the BJP over Shinde Sena’s claim to the Chief Minister’s post. BJP leaders and MLAs demand that Devendra Fadnavis be appointed CM. Showing the mirror to Shinde Sena, BJP Manifesto Committee chief and former MP Vinay Sahastrabuddhe said in clear words that creating pressure will be futile. The BJP is not going to give in to the Chief Minister’s post.
Statement by Vinay Sahastrabuddhe
Besides Vinay Sahastrabuddhe, BJP MLA from Satara and descendant of Shivaji Maharaj Shivendra Raje Bhosle, BJP leader Praveen Darekar and newly elected BJP MLA and former minister Sanjay Koote have demanded that Fadnavis be the Chief Minister. Vinay Sahastrabuddhe said, “If someone is trying to create pressure, then pressure will not be created. Pressure is created when someone is going to be suppressed. There is no one here to suppress. People of Maharashtra have said this based on data about who will be the CM There is no point in these words of pressure and sacrifice. Whatever decision is taken, it will be taken under competent and experienced leadership.
What did you say about the Bihar pattern?
On the issue of forming a government in Maharashtra on the Bihar model, Vinay Sahastrabuddhe said, “This is the demand of Shinde Sena. There is nothing wrong in maintaining the demand, but we are people who believe in the coalition religion. We will make him speak within our limits. Maharashtra He who is in people’s minds will become the Chief Minister.”
