Eknath Shinde
The results of the Maharashtra Assembly elections have been announced, raising the stakes for the chief minister’s post. The people of the state gave Mahayut the highest priority and elected them to 240 seats. At this point, the formation of a grand alliance government in Maharashtra is a certainty, but who will be the chief minister of the state? The suspense about this matter has not stopped yet. Mahayuthi did contest the elections under Eknath Shinde, but no agreement was reached on the issue of the chief minister’s face. Now the major leagues are winning. So will Eknath Shinde be the chief minister again or will deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis be promoted?
According to Marathi TV9, the faction leaders of Shiv Sena and NCP have also been identified. Eknath Shinde is the leader of the Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar is the leader of the NCP, but the BJP remains silent. Amid all these developments, the Shiv Sena leader has now demanded the reappointment of Eknath Shinde as the chief minister. Interestingly, some Shiv Sena sources have given many reasons why Eknath Shinde should be made chief minister again. Among them, there are 6 main reasons.
According to Shiv Sena, why should Shinde be appointed CM? These 6 reasons
1- The Thackerites may attack Mahayuti: Sources in the Sindhi faction said that if Eknath Shinde does not become the chief minister, the Thackeray faction will easily get an opportunity to target Devendra Fadnavis. The Thackeray camp may claim that the BJP and Devendra Fadnavis came to power using the name and symbol of the Shiv Sena and sidelined the Shiv Sena in Shinde immediately after coming to power. Sources said the Sindhi faction believes that Thackeray and Mahavika Aghadi will oppose every decision of the grand alliance and try to create a conflict with the BJP in Maharashtra.
2- Marathi identity will be strengthened: By appointing Eknath Shinde as chief minister, Mahayuthi can strengthen the issue of Maratha identity. Sources said the move would show the BJP’s generosity and commitment to respecting Maratha identity. This will have a direct impact on the opponent.
3- The image of good governance will be strengthened: Mahayut’s majority in the state was also due to the welfare schemes introduced by the Eknath Shinde-led government. Therefore, with Shinde continuing as chief minister, the grand alliance’s image of good governance will be strengthened and the impact of its plans will be more effective.
4-Caste people will not stand a chance: Eknath Shinde hails from the Maratha community. Contesting the elections under the leadership of Eknath Shinde, he succeeded in winning the trust of the Maratha community. If the Maratha leader remains as chief minister, the casteists will not have any chance. Because Shinde promised to reserve it for the Maratha community, not the Obisa community OBC.
5- Will remain strong in citizen elections: The state is going to hold local body elections soon. Following this, local body elections will be held across the state in the next two to three years. The changing face of government will again draw comparisons to the previous leadership. If Eknath Shinde continues as chief minister, his hold on the region will remain strong. In this case, Mahayut will benefit in the local body elections.
6- Eknath Shinde maintains harmony among all religions: It is clear from the election surveys that Eknath Shinde remains the most popular face in Maharashtra. Eknath Shinde maintained harmony with citizens of all castes and religions. He also paid tribute to Eknath Shinde. So, the league’s tenure was good, and people again voted for the major leagues by a historic majority. Eknath Shinde showed his leadership qualities by handling all three constituent parties of Mahayutri.
