4pm News Network: Even six days after the results of the Maharashtra Assembly elections, no decision has been taken on the formation of the new government there… The term of the State Assembly also ended on Tuesday, November 26… Eknath Shinde also resigned from the post of CM. …. Meanwhile, after Mahayuti’s big victory, there is a dispute within the alliance regarding the CM post… BJP has become the largest party in Mahayuti and has one hundred and thirty-two seats… while Shiv Sena leader and CM Eknath Shinde is the elections were fought under the leadership…. And Mahayuti won a landslide victory….. In such a situation, the race for the CM post was between BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde…. But Eknath Shinde surrendered to Modi at a press conference on Wednesday and said that whatever decision Modi-Shah takes, we will accept it. Let us tell you that after the election results came in on November 23 and during the election campaign itself, Eknath Shinde made it clear that we are not involved in the CM race. Despite this, after the results came in, Shiv Sena leaders loudly criticized Eknath. Shinde demanded that he be appointed CM… but it had no impact on Mahayuti’s party colleagues… due to which Shinde had to surrender for the CM post…
But the name of another important face of the alliance, Ajit Pawar, was not taken anywhere…. While politically, Ajit Pawar is superior among his two fellow leaders… in terms of administrative experience, he is superior to all others… Ajit Pawar has been in public life since 1982… He has been Deputy Chief Minister five times…. Firstly, he was appointed Deputy CM during Prithviraj Chavan’s Chief Minister’s tenure…. In such a situation, he has expressed his wish many times that he also wants to become CM…. But he has been neglected in the Mahayuti… and none of the party colleagues have bothered to make him CM… so he has come to know… that we don’t want to become CM… seeing which he has already given up. While doing this, he had announced his support to make Devendra Fadnavis the CM…
We tell you that Ajit Pawar, who played an important role in Mahayuti’s victory in Maharashtra, seems to be lagging behind on the issue of taking part in the government… First came the news of the reduction in the number of his ministers. under the formula… And now, even in department division, it is said that NCP will be given light ministries…. Not only this, the BJP is also keeping an eye on Ajit Pawar’s finance department… The finance department was in the headlines in the Eknath Shinde government… It is said that this time the BJP will keep Ajit’s finances Pawar. Seeing this, Ajit Pawar’s politics seem overshadowed. Let us tell you that during Shinde’s tenure, Ajit Pawar had the Finance Ministry… and there were nine ministerial berths in his camp… But this time, after the BJP got 132 seats, the BJP is trying to reduce the Ministry of Finance and the number of ministers… so Ajit Pawar’s difficulties seem to be increasing… and Ajit cannot take any decision. They are in a state of confusion…
Let us tell you that when Ajit Pawar rebelled against Sharad uncle and joined the NDA… then he had a total of forty MLAs…. After contesting sixty seats in the 2024 assembly elections, Ajit won forty-one seats… Ajit’s strike rate in case of victory is around seventy percent…. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Ajit’s party had won only six seats… After this strong comeback of Ajit in the assembly elections, there was talk of increasing its stature… but in terms of distribution of departments and number of ministers, was defeated. It seems like a shock… We tell you that Ajit Pawar had nine ministers in the Eknath Shinde government. Now, as per the formula decided in the new government, Ajit is said to get only seven ministerial berths. There is news that Eknath Shinde’s party will be given 12 ministerial berths and BJP will be given 21 ministerial berths… It is said that smaller parties will also get ministerial berths under a symbolic partnership…
In the previous government, Ajit also held the post of vice president… but this time there is less chance of him getting the post of vice president…. Eknath Shinde’s party is seeking the post of vice president. Shinde’s party is the second largest party in the government after the BJP… Shinde was holding the post of Chief Minister in the previous government… over which he has renounced his rights in this government. According to the information, Department of Home, Finance, Revenue, Personnel and Public Works are among the top 5 departments of Maharashtra….. The information that is coming out…. According to him, the BJP will keep important departments like Home, Finance and Revenue… while Eknath Shinde’s party will keep urban development…. And it has been decided to give to important ministries such as people with disabilities…. It has been agreed to hand over departments like agriculture, irrigation and food supply to Ajit Pawar’s NCP. Ajit is not allotted a single department in the top five of Maharashtra….
Let us tell you that Finance Department is currently the most talked about political department in Maharashtra… In Maharashtra, money is being given for many schemes like Ladki Bahin… Maintaining this scheme is a big challenge… Reserve According Bank of India, the State has a debt of seven lakh eighty two billion rupees… In such a situation, the BJP wants to manage the crisis by keeping the Finance Ministry with it… Last time, Ajit Pawar was accused of giving more funds. to his MLAs it was…. Due to this, many times Ajit even had arguments with ministers in cabinet meetings. The BJP does not want to allow such a situation to arise this time…. At the same time, credit is also an important issue…. The BJP would not want its allies to take away credit for any important government work. At the same time, the number of seats is also an important factor…. This time there has been an increase in seats for all parties…. In such a situation, Ajit does not have the option of not accepting the BJP formula.
Let us tell you that on Thursday, the Mahayuti leaders’ meeting lasted for about three hours at Amit Shah’s house in Delhi… In this meeting, Eknath Shinde had come from the Shiv Sena side, Devendra Fadnavis had come from the BJP side. .. At the same time, three leaders of Ajit Pawar’s party were present at the meeting… the first was Ajit Pawar himself, the second was Praful Patel and the third was Maharashtra NCP president Sunil Tatkare. Now it is said that Ajit will finalize the names of ministers from his quota… Interestingly, all nine ministers from Ajit Pawar’s quota have won…. In such a situation, it will not be easy for Ajit to select seven out of these nine…. Because all the present nine ministers have won… and among them, whoever Ajit Pawar leaves out, a situation of rebellion may arise in the party… seeing this, Ajit Pawar looks in a lot of tension… because the number of ministers will increase. decreasing…. And not a single department among the major departments is being given to Ajit Pawar….
Well, this is something different… this time he is also in the Mahayuti alliance…. He has forty-one MLA…. There is a good chance that he will occupy the post of deputy CM for the sixth time. Now he is sixty-five years old… On the other side is Eknath Shinde… He is sixty years old… He is younger than Ajit Pawar in administrative and political experience… But, due to his excellent bargaining power, he remained the CM of Maharashtra for about two and a half years. We are actually comparing the two leaders here because there are many similarities between the two. Both have created their own path by breaking up a family party…. Well, there was a time when Ajit Pawar got a chance to become CM…. If he had made a better deal with the BJP, he would have become the CM of the state…just like Eknath Shinde got the CM post in the state in June 2022 by making a deal with the BJP…. And it was possible that even his guru and uncle Sharad Pawar would not have been angry if he became CM….
This incident occurred on November 23, 2019… NCP was not divided at that time… Ajit Pawar was the second biggest leader of NCP after Sharad Pawar…. He was well known in the state party organization…. Then after the 2019 assembly elections, he formed the government by striking a deal with the BJP without Sharad Pawar’s permission… At that time NCP had fifty-four MLAs… And formed the government with Devendra Fadnavis during the night of November 23, 2019…. And he became deputy CM…. Although that government fell after three days… Sharad Pawar disagreed and called out the MLAs who had sided with Ajit. This was an opportunity where he could have struck a difficult deal with the BJP…. However, his alliance with Shiv Sena broke down as BJP did not relinquish the CM’s post.
