As Maharashtra’s cabinet expands, the leaders’ grievances also come to the fore.
The first cabinet expansion of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ government took place in Maharashtra today. Calls have been made to Shiv Sena, NCP and BJP MLAs seeking extension. The person who received the call had decided to become a minister but dissatisfaction was also visible due to this delay. Shiv Sena leader Narendra Bhondekar resigned as deputy leader. On the other hand, Union Minister Ramdas Atharwal also expressed dissatisfaction with the delay. Asawale said these promises have not been implemented.
Shiv Sena leader Narendra Bhondekar, MLA and three-time MLA from Bhandara-Boni parliamentary constituency, has publicly expressed his displeasure. He has resigned as Shiv Sena deputy leader and Vidarbha convener. He was promised a ministerial post but ultimately resigned as deputy leader after not being offered a seat in the cabinet. In this case, some people are now questioning whether Bondka is dissatisfied with the expansion of the cabinet? Such discussions have now begun in national political circles.
Narendra Bhondkar also started discussions in September
In September, there were reports that MLA Narendra Bhondekar was not allowed to enter the Nagpur residence of then Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. There were reports that the chief minister had to return as the gate of his official residence ‘Ramgiri’ did not open. Narendra Bhondekar rejected the report. He said, Ten minutes later I received a call from Shinde Saheb. He called to meet.
Ramdas Athawale says Fadnavis did not keep his word
RPI chairman Ramdas Athawale said Chief Minister Devendra Phadnis had promised to grant ministerial posts but he failed to deliver. He said I had met JP Nadda and Amit Shah. Amit Shah asked to speak to Devendra Fadnavis. Now I am leaving for Delhi again in two days. Will discuss this with him again.
