Sanjay Raut exposes political discord between Fadnavis and Shinde, impacting Maharashtra's governance and stability.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday (February 2, 2025)claimed the "strained relation" between Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy CM Eknath Shinde was hindering the State's progress.
In his weekly column Rokhthok in the Shiv Sena (UBT) mouthpiece 'Saamna', Mr. Raut further claimed Mr. Shinde was yet to come to terms with the fact that he was not reinstated as Chief Minister after the November 2024 Assembly polls and was desperately trying to regain the position, which Mr. Fadnavis fully understands.
In the last year's Assembly elections, the Mahayuti, comprising the BJP, Shinde's Shiv Sena and the NCP led by Ajit Pawar, won 230 of the 288 seats in the state.
"Our Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the BJP-backed Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde have almost no real communication anymore, which has turned into a source of entertainment for the public," the Rajya Sabha member charged.
Mr. Raut claimed this ongoing "discord" has affected the Maharashtra government's functioning.
"Despite having a majority, the administration remains paralysed. Those who rise through treachery often fall by it. The attacks on Shinde have begun, and Maharashtra has been left in a state of uncertainty and disorder," he said.
Mr. Raut also claimed that Mr. Shinde's control over his political turf Thane was being systematically undermined by the BJP.
