Not All Well In Maharashtra?

The Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Eknath Shinde, appears to be growing increasingly discontented with the government’s performance. Despite a year passing since the BJP-led administration took charge, whispers suggest that Shinde is unsettled with how matters are being managed source says. This discontent was particularly evident on August 13th when he chose to indulge in a serene vacation in Jammu and Kashmir, shunning an important cabinet meeting in the process. This isn’t an isolated incident; it marks yet another instance where he has opted out of crucial meetings, briefings, and functions, often attended by the Chief Minister as the guest of honour source adds. The growing rift within the coalition is causing unease among BJP leaders, who find themselves grappling with the implications of this discord.

It’s worth noting that Eknath Shinde once held the esteemed position of Chief Minister, while Devendra Fadnavis served beneath him as Deputy Chief Minister, a dynamic now turned on its head. The shifting allegiances and tensions within the party are enough to give the state’s political leaders sleepless nights, as they navigate this increasingly complex situation source says.
