There is currently a Mahayuti coalition government in Maharashtra. The Bharatiya Janata Party and Shiv Sena are part of it. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde rebelled and formed the government in Maharashtra with the BJP. Both parties will also contest together in the upcoming assembly elections. Commenting on this whole scenario, a BJP leader said that those whom we used to call traitors till yesterday have become traitors to us today.
BJP’s Ulhasnagar district president Pradeep Ramchandani said in a programme: “I say no one is a traitor anymore.” He who is called a traitor becomes Chief Minister. The political scenario has changed. Those whom we called traitors yesterday join our party today and we call them proud. Times have changed.
Elections will be held in Maharashtra on November 20.
We inform you that elections will be held on November 20 for 288 seats in the Maharashtra assembly. The grand alliance formed by the BJP, Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) and Ajit Pawar’s NCP intends to return to power. At the same time, Maha Vikas Aghadi, comprising Congress, Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction) and Sharad Pawar’s NCP, also claims to form the government.
