Ajit Pawar’s NCP fielded a maximum of five former ministers. Chhagan Bhujbal, Sanjay Bansode, Anil Patil, Dharmarao Baba Atram and Dilip Walse Patil did not get a place in the cabinet. While BJP’s Ravindra Chavan, Sudhir Mungantiwar and Vijay Kumar Gavit and Shiv Sena’s Abdul Sattar, Deepak Kesarkar and Tanaji Sawant have been kept in the waiting list.
Shiv Sena MLAs raised questions on Shinde’s leadership
Even without getting ministerial post, Shiv Sena MLAs have started making statements. In which MLA Narendra Bhondekar expressed his displeasure by resigning from the party post before taking oath in Nagpur. Now Purandar MLA Vijay Shivtare has announced that, ‘I will not accept the post of minister even after two and a half years. Also, I have no regrets about not getting a ministerial post. But I am saddened by the way I was treated.
Shivtare gave a statement that, ‘Workers are not anyone’s slaves. Maharashtra is being pushed on the path of Bihar, where caste of leaders is being considered instead of regional balance.
At the same time, MLA Prakash Surve, who was a partner in Eknath Shinde’s rebellion against Uddhav, has also become one of the critics. Surve said, ‘I have achieved something only by struggling and will continue to struggle. Many people in the cabinet are children of big leaders, not me.
NCP-Shiv Sena leaders have options
Political experts believe that the leaders of all the parties in the grand alliance have the courage not to become ministers, but its impact will be more visible in Shiv Sena and NCP. Both parties can move forward on the strength of the government. When Ajit Pawar and Eknath Shinde broke the party, their aim was to form the government.
The recent problem of Mahayuti is that BJP, Shiv Sena and NCP have won major elections with good strike rates. BJP is a national party. In such a situation, disappointed BJP leaders have no option but to be patient. NCP-Shiv Sena leaders have the option to return to their parent party. Defection is possible during civic elections.
