After Eknath Shinde바카라s resignation on Tuesday, all eyes remain on the BJP바카라s next move. With the party seeking to balance its internal dynamics and maintain cohesion within its alliance, tensions escalate over who will hold the top post.
With the BJP insisting on reappointing Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena continues to push for his continuation, the battle for Maharashtra바카라s chief ministerial post remains unresolved. While the suspense remains after Shinde resigned on Tuesday to fulfill a constitutional requirement, the political tensions have escalated within the Mahayuti coalition.
After Shinde's resignation, Shiv Sena spokesperson Sanjay Shirsat had indicated that clarity would emerge by Tuesday night or Wednesday morning after key discussions among Shinde, Fadnavis, and Pawar, with input from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. 바카라The three leaders will meet in the evening (Tuesday) and take an appropriate decision, which will be communicated to the media later,바카라 PTI had quoted Shirsat. However, the three parties are yet to arrive at a consensus .
Meanwhile, Eknath Shinde is set to hold a press conference at 3pm on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the BJP seems to be in no rush to make a formal announcement until the distribution of ministerial portfolios is finalized to avoid creating friction within the coalition. 바카라The central leadership is in no hurry to name a candidate for the chief minister's post. We have secured a decisive mandate, and the priority now is to work out a comprehensive plan for government formation. That includes finalizing ministerial portfolios and distributing key posts such as district guardian ministers,바카라 the PTI quoted a BJP leader on condition of anonymity.
Despite Shiv Sena's ongoing campaign, citing the success of their 바카라Ladki Bahin Yojana바카라 and urging Shinde바카라s retention, the BJP appears firm on Fadnavis. However, the BJP's central leadership has reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with what they perceive as 바카라pressure tactics바카라 by Shinde's supporters within the Shiv Sena.
Shinde supporters have been quoting 바카라Bihar model,바카라 where NDA is in power, but the JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar is the chief minister despite the BJP having more seats in the state assembly. 바카라We feel Shinde should remain Chief Minister, just as Nitish Kumar did in Bihar,바카라 Hindustan Times quoted Shiv Sena spokesperson Naresh Mhaske.
BJP spokesperson Prem Shukla rejected the suggestions of going for the 바카라Bihar model,바카라. 바카라Firstly, the announcement to make Nitish Kumar CM was done before the election. In Maharashtra, there was no such commitment made to the Shiv Sena. Secondly, we formed an alliance with Janata Dal (United) in Bihar so that the BJP could make inroads into the state, which did not happen. Hence there is no question of replicating the same in Maharashtra,바카라 Shukla told Hindustan Times.
He emphasized that the BJP had made it clear during the election campaign that the decision on the chief minister would be based on the electoral outcome, which favored Fadnavis' leadership, given the BJP secured 132 seats in the 288-member Assembly.
바카라In Maharashtra, there is no reason for such a commitment as we have a stronger organizational base and leadership. Above all, the party never gave any commitment to continuing with Eknath Shinde as CM after the elections. On the contrary, the top leadership maintained throughout the elections that a decision on the CM would be based on the electoral outcome,바카라 Prem Shukla told the Indian Express.
Adding to the speculation, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP Ajit Pawar ) president Sunil Tatkare suggested Ajit Pawar as a possible contender for the top post but admitted there were 바카라practical limitations바카라 to such a move. He acknowledged the vital role Shinde바카라s leadership played in the alliance바카라s electoral success but maintained that the Mahayuti would make a decision soon.
The Mahayuti coalition - consisting of the BJP, Shiv Sena, and Ajit Pawar's NCP - had a strong showing in the recently concluded state elections, winning a total of 230 seats. This gave the alliance a comfortable majority, but it has led to the ongoing tussle over who will occupy the chief minister바카라s office. While BJP leaders, including former Union minister Raosaheb Danve, have denied any pre-election promise to Shinde, the situation remains fluid, with discussions continuing among the top leaders of the Mahayuti.
