Eknath Shinde, Shiv Sena: BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis will take oath as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra today. Along with him, Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar will take oath as Deputy CM. Union ministers including PM Modi, Amit Shah, JP Nadda, Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari, CMs and Deputy CMs of BJP and NDA ruled states will also participate in this program. Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde is ready to take charge as Deputy CM in the government. However, there are clear indications that he is still in command of the Home Ministry. However, now even his own party leaders have become a headache for him, know why?
What is the danger to Eknath Shinde?
Leaders of Eknath Shinde’s party Shiv Sena are pressurizing BJP to retain as many ministerial posts and key departments in this government. Shiv Sena wants more than a dozen of its MLAs to become ministers. So that all the MLAs can be kept happy. Another MLA from the Shiv Sena camp is happy because his party is going to be a part of the government for the second consecutive time. At the same time, some MLAs believe that if Eknath Shinde had remained CM for a few more days, it would have boosted the morale of the party and the party’s performance in the local body elections would have been better.
Who will get a place in the cabinet?
However, if Shiv Sena sources are to be believed, this time all new faces will be included in the cabinet. There are some faces who have become MLAs for the first time. In such a situation, there is not much problem in his holding this post, but the MLAs who are senior and have never been a part of the cabinet, are lobbying for the post of minister this time. There are some MLCs who want to include themselves in the cabinet by becoming MLCs continuously.
Giving posts to MLAs is a big challenge
According to Shiv Sena officials, when Mahayuti formed the government in 2022, Shiv Sena had 40 MLAs, now after the assembly elections, Shiv Sena has 57 MLAs. Those senior MLAs who do not become ministers will have to be accommodated in state-run corporations. Sanjay Shirsat and Bharat Gogwale are also included in such MLAs.
