BJP MP Termed Maharashtra Cabinet 'Ek Duje Ke Liye', Claims Supriya Sule

Ms Sule's swipe comes against the backdrop of the delay in expanding the cabinet even a month after the new government of Mr Shinde and the BJP came to power.
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Supriya Sule on Tuesday said a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP has described the Eknath Shinde-led government in Maharashtra as "Ek Duje Ke Liye" - a wordplay on the title of the famous 1981 Bollywood film.
Ms Sule's swipe comes against the backdrop of the delay in expanding the cabinet even a month after the new government of Mr Shinde and the BJP came to power.
Currently, Chief Minister Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis of the BJP are the only members of the state cabinet but their portfolios are not decided yet.
"Today, I was talking to a Lok Sabha member of BJP who described the Maharashtra government as 'Ek Duje Ke Liye'. This comparison is something I would have never thought of," said Ms Sule, the Lok Sabha MP from Baramati in the Pune district.
