Maharashtra's politics comes to standstill at the turn of 2019, then Uddhav & now Shinde become BJP headache

After the results of Maharashtra assembly elections, BJP's headache has increased because a fierce battle has erupted over the names of Eknath Shinde and Devendra Fadnavis for the post of Chief Minister. This situation has become exactly like the 2019 assembly elections, when the alliance between Uddhav Thackeray and BJP broke up over the post of Chief Minister.

Situation become exactly like the 2019 assembly elections

In Maharashtra, BJP-Shiv Sena and NCP have managed to win the political battle with a huge majority, but a political battle has erupted over the post of Chief Minister. BJP, which emerged as the largest party with 132 seats, is weaving a web to make its own CM, for which Eknath Shinde has been offered the post of Deputy CM or a minister at the Center.

Although NCP Ajit Pawar is ready for the post of Deputy CM, but Shinde is not accepting BJP's offer. Shinde is not willing to accept anything less than the post of CM.

 if Mahayuti gets majority, CM post will be given to Shiv Sena

Regarding the post of Chief Minister, the leaders of Eknath Shinde faction are reminding BJP of the same things and promises as Uddhav Thackeray had made after the 2019 election results. Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Shirsat of Shinde faction said that before the election, Shiv Sena was promised that even if Mahayuti gets majority, the CM post will be given to Shiv Sena. In such a situation, Eknath Shinde will not accept the post of Deputy CM, because the election was fought on his face, and it is because of him that Mahayuti got victory. In such a situation, Eknath Shinde is entitled to the CM post.

If Shinde is made CM, it will send a good message

If Shiv Sena sources are to be believed, it was decided in several meetings with top BJP leaders that BJP will contest on maximum seats, but regardless of the number of seats won by the constituent parties of Mahayuti, Shinde will remain the CM if Mahayuti gets majority.

Shirsat said that if BJP fulfills our demand (to make Shinde the Chief Minister), then it will send a good message to the people. If Shinde becomes CM, future elections will prove beneficial for us.

Maharashtra politics stands at the crossroads of 2019

After the results of Maharashtra elections, politics has again come to the crossroads of 2019. Mahayuti fought the 2019 assembly elections without a CM face. Amit Shah had said that Shinde is definitely the current CM, but the decision of the new CM will be decided by the three parties after the results are out.

CM will be decided by the three parties after the results

After the way the results have come in favor of BJP, the party is trying to make its own CM. In such a situation, the name of Devendra Fadnavis is being discussed. BJP has offered the post of Deputy CM to Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar, but the Shinde faction does not accept this formula. For this, they are talking about the internal agreement made before the elections, in which there is talk of making Shinde the CM. Uddhav broke friendship for CM

BJP has offered the post of Deputy CM to Shiv Sena

In the 2019 assembly elections, BJP and Shiv Sena (joint) contested the elections together, but did not clarify their stand on the post of Chief Minister. The election results of Maharashtra came in favor of NDA, but the friendship of BJP-Shiv Sena broke over the post of CM.

In the 2019 assembly elections

Uddhav Thackeray had said that BJP had promised before the elections that Shiv Sena's CM will be there for the first two and a half years and then BJP's CM will be there for the next two and a half years. BJP now wants its own CM. By making such allegations, Uddhav Thackeray broke the alliance with BJP and formed the government with Congress and NCP.

Uddhav Thackeray broke the alliance with BJP

Uddhav Thackeray and Shiv Sena said that BJP had decided the formula of two and a half years of power, but it changed after the elections. Due to this, the alliance with BJP had to be broken and the government had to be formed with Congress and NCP. At the same time, BJP kept saying that there was no such agreement between Uddhav Thackeray and Shiv Sena regarding the post of Chief Minister.

Nor was any such offer made by Shiv Sena. Uddhav Thackeray has insulted the mandate given to the NDA in his political ambition.

Shinde faction is speaking the language of Uddhav Thackeray

Uddhav Thackeray had staged a coup in June 2022 by taking 38 Shiv Sena MLAs with him. After this, Shinde formed the government with the BJP. Eknath Shinde was made the Chief Minister while Devendra Fadnavis was made the Deputy CM.

Mahayuti has returned to power with a huge majority

The government ran for two and a half years under the leadership of Eknath Shinde and again the Mahayuti has returned to power with a huge majority. After the spectacular victory of the BJP, the political outlook regarding the CM post has completely changed. The BJP, which handed over the reins of power to Shinde for two and a half years, is now trying to make its own CM. The BJP has offered Shinde the post of minister and deputy CM at the Center, to which Eknath Shinde is not agreeable.

BJP is now trying to make its own CM

The reason for Shiv Sena breaking the alliance with BJP and the split in Shiv Sena, NCP was the CM post, then the same situation remains. It is being said in both the alliances that the decision on the Chief Minister will be taken after the elections.

BJP may have made Eknath Shinde the CM in 2022 to settle accounts with Uddhav Thackeray, but it will not do so now. If BJP tries to make its own Chief Minister after the elections, then the Shinde faction is not ready.
