Mumbai BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, Shiv Sena’s Eknath Shinde and Nationalist Congress Party’s Ajit Pawar met Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday to discuss the cabinet split. Before the meeting with Fadnavis and Pawar, Shah and BJP chief JP Nadda met Shinde at Shah’s residence. The three of them met for about twenty minutes. However, the opposition also mocks this. Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut said all issues related to Maharashtra will be decided in Delhi. Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar will have to come to Delhi again and again to raise their issues.
Raut said he will have to listen to the Prime Minister and Amit Shah. He (Ajit Pawar) was always the deputy CM and will always be the deputy CM. The glow on his face that had disappeared after the Lok Sabha elections has now returned – this is the miracle of EVM. He said in a sarcastic tone that a temple of 3 idols should be built, EVM in the middle, PM on one side and Amit Shah on the other. Now there has been a counter attack from the BJP on this.
BJP MP Dinesh Sharma said Sanjay Raut should be more worried about his Shiv Sena (UBT). The Congressmen themselves say that it is Sanjay Raut who has created problems for both the Congress and the Shiv Sena. It is not necessary to take his statements seriously. Mahayuti is united, we fought the elections together and we will rule Maharashtra united for the next five years. Incidentally, there is still suspense over whether the BJP intends to make Devendra Fadnavis chief minister primarily on caste grounds. According to sources, Fadnavis is the BJP’s candidate for the chief minister’s post and is expected to take oath on December 2.
