Eknath Shinde Maharashtra New CM: Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde held a press conference after meeting Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari. During this, former Chief Minister Fadnavis announced that Eknath Shinde would take an oath as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. During this, Devendra Fadnavis said he would be out of the government. Only Eknath Shinde will take oath today at 7.30 pm.
Devendra Fadnavis said that the public did not give a majority to Mahavikas Aghadi. The BJP was the single largest party after the elections. BJP-Shiv Sena had contested the polls in alliance, but Shiv Sena formed the government with the help of Congress and NCP. For this, the Shiv Sena also put the ideas of Balasaheb Thackeray on hold. Devendra Fadnavis said that we had not supported Shinde for power; instead, we have come together on the issue of Hindutva.
Two ministers of the Uddhav government are in jail: Fadnavis.
During this, Fadnavis said that for the first time in the history of Maharashtra, it happened that two ministers of the government were in jail. This has never happened before. Balasaheb always opposed Dawood, but a minister in the Uddhav government was associated with Dawood. Even after going to jail, he was not removed from the minister’s post. This is an insult to Balasaheb. Fadnavis alleged that the Uddhav government had done Sambhaji Nagar at the last moment.
Problem was coming in MVA government: Shinde.
During this, Eknath Shinde said that we had come together for the development of Maharashtra. We were facing problems in working in the Mahavikas Aghadi government. We told Uddhav Thackeray about this. We tried to explain our side. We had a natural alliance with the BJP. When we went ahead with the thoughts of Balasaheb, some decisions were taken by the government regarding Hindutva in the last.
Shinde expressed his gratitude to the PM.
Eknath Shinde said that I am thankful to PM Modi and Amit Shah that Fadnavis will not become the Chief Minister. Despite being a big party, BJP has made me the Chief Minister by showing a big heart. Shinde claimed that a strong government would be seen in Maharashtra in the coming days. The way the central government will help Maharashtra, the development of Maharashtra will be faster. This government will work to fulfil the expectations of the people. He also thanked Devendra Fadnavis.
