Mumbai: Preparations to form the government in Maharashtra have intensified. Meanwhile, big news is coming out about the CM post in Mahayuti. According to the information received, the NCP of Ajit Pawar faction has agreed to make Devendra Fadnavis the CM. According to sources, in the meeting held on Sunday, Ajit Pawar and all his MLAs have supported Devendra Fadnavis to be made the CM. However, in the Shinde camp, his MLAs still want Eknath Shinde to remain the CM, because the Ladli Behna Yojana was started by CM Eknath Shinde, which benefited the Mahayuti.
Shinde group is demanding the post of CM.
Shinde camp believes that Eknath Shinde becoming CM will be beneficial in the upcoming BMC elections and other municipal elections. On the other hand, BJP leaders want that since BJP has the maximum number of seats, Devendra Fadnavis should be made CM from BJP’s side. However, today the leaders of Mahayuti parties Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde, and Ajit Pawar can go to Delhi, where they can meet Amit Shah and JP Nadda.
Formula of one CM and two deputy CMs
According to sources, the formula of one CM and two deputy CMs can be repeated in Maharashtra. Devendra Fadnavis becoming the Chief Minister is almost certain. There is no objection from the Ajit faction in the Mahayuti to making Fadnavis the CM. However, today Fadnavis, Shinde, and Ajit Pawar can go to Delhi. It is believed that if Fadnavis becomes the CM, then Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar can become Deputy CMs. That is, the old formula of one CM and two deputy CMs can be implemented.
meeting in Delhi today
According to sources, Eknath Shinde can be given a big portfolio like Deputy CM and Urban Development Minister. Along with this, 10-12 ministerial posts can come in his party’s quota. Ajit Pawar can also get the Finance Department along with the post of Deputy CM. Along with this, about 10 ministerial posts can come into his party’s account. Apart from this, about 20-22 ministerial posts can come in BJP’s quota. However, Shinde’s Shiv Sena wants CM Shinde should bring Ladli Behna Yojana, which did good work for two and a half years, so initially he should get a chance for the CM post again. Now that Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar have been chosen as the leaders of their respective parties, there will be a meeting of the three leaders of Maharashtra with the BJP top leadership and the name of the CM will be finalized, where Fadnavis is the strongest contender.
