Mumbai: The Shiv Sena workers feel Ajit Pawar is the reason for Eknath Shinde not getting the Chief Minister’s post. Many Shiv Sena workers strongly feel that Pawar is the person who played dirty.
As Shinde is almost out of the race for the Chief Minister’s post, Shiv Sena leaders started expressing their displeasure over the whole episode of new government formation.
Shiv Sena leader Ramdas Kadam lashed out at Ajit Pawar and the NCP, stating that it was Pawar’s interference that cost Shiv Sena the top post. “Earlier, when Ajit Pawar joined the Mahayuti in 2023, it cost our people ministerial posts because those posts were occupied by his partymen. This time around again he played the mischief which is all set to cost us the top post,” he told The Perfect Voice.
“Shiv Sena workers wanted Shinde to retain the Chief Minister’s post. Ajit Pawar surrendered and supported Devendra Fadnavis for the post of Chief Minister. This affected our bargaining power. Now it will be difficult for Eknath Shinde to get the post of Chief Minister due to Ajit Pawar’s smart act. However, the grand alliance will remain intact as it is even in future,” he said.
“The election was contested under the leadership of Eknath Shinde. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah believed in Eknath Shinde who fought the battle and achieved great success. Now it is up to them to take calls on such crucial matter,” Kadam pointed out.
