Inclusion of Sanjay Rathod -- a rebel Sena legislator once accused of abetting a TikTok star's suicide -- in the Maharashtra cabinet is causing the first bit of public friction in Eknath Shinde's alliance with the BJP. Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis had led the BJP's charge against Mr Rathod when he was Leader of Opposition not long ago. पुजा चव्हाण च्या मृत्युला कारणीभूत असणार्या माजी मंत्री संजय राठोड ला पुन्हा मंत्रीपद दिलं जाणं हे अत्यंत दुदैवी आहेसंजय राठोड जरी पुन्हा मंत्री झालेला असला तरीही त्याच्या विरुद्धचा माझा लढा मी सुरूचं ठेवलेला आहेमाझा न्याय देवतेवर विश्वासलडेंगे….जितेंगे ???? @CMOMaharashtrapic.twitter.com/epJCMpvHLB
Chief Minister Shinde defended including Mr Rathod after BJP's state unit vice-chief Chitra Wagh put out a video vowing to "continue the fight" against Sanjay Rathod, who had to resign from Uddhav Thackeray's cabinet last year due to the allegations. But CM Shinde has said, "He's been given the clean chit by police after investigation during the previous government."
He Ms Wagh's tweet, in which she said, "It is very unfortunate that Sanjay Rathod, who caused the death of Maharashtra's daughter Pooja Chavan, has been given the post of minister again. Even though he is a minister again, I will continue my fight against him. I believe in God and justice. We will fight, and win."
