BJP should have shown ‘big heart’ by respecting rotational CM pact, says Shiv Sena; taunts Fadnavis

The Shiv Sena on Saturday said the swearing-in of former Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis as deputy chief minister was a “shocking climax” of a drama to create political instability in the state, and questioned the BJP as to why it did not show a “big heart”. Honoring rotational CM’s agreement in 2019.

The Shiv Sena, in an editorial in its mouthpiece ‘Saamana’, said Fadnavis’s act of becoming deputy chief minister instead of chief minister is now being defended as an example of his “big heart” and “following the party’s instructions”.

“With an aim to create political instability in Maharashtra, a drama was played, but it is still not clear how many more episodes are yet to come to the fore. The fast-paced development has stunned Chanakya and even political pundits as strokes and masterstrokes are being played,” it said.

“The ‘Mahashakti’ (Superforce) behind the whole drama was exposed. The main objective of the entire drama was to gain power in Maharashtra through a rebellion in the Shiv Sena, which was called Surat, Guwahati, the Supreme Court, Goa, Raj Bhavan and eventually Mantralaya (State). Secretariat) was implemented.

“However, the climax at the Raj Bhavan was the most shocking part of it. The one on whom everyone believed that he would become the Chief Minister (Fadnavis), had to take oath as the Deputy Chief Minister and vice versa. He accepted the position as an order of the party leadership. But now it is being said in defense that Fadnavis showed big heart and took office (instead of becoming CM himself).

Told. A day after the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government collapsed due to rebellion within the Shiv Sena, Fadnavis had on Thursday announced that rebel Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde would be the new chief minister, but would himself be part of the government. Don’t be

However, he later took oath as the Deputy Chief Minister. The BJP, in particular, is the single largest party in the assembly.

On Friday, Uddhav Thackeray had said that had Union Home Minister Amit Shah spoken of rotating the top post in the state in 2019, the BJP would now be running the government. In 2019, Shiv Sena and BJP contested the assembly elections together, but parted ways due to differences over sharing the chief minister’s post. The Shiv Sena claims that it was decided that all the posts, including that of the chief minister, would be shared between the two saffron parties.
