Maharashtra twist: BJP anoints Eknath Shinde CM, makes Devendra Fadnavis his deputy

In a day of dramatic twists, Shinde, who led a massive coup in the Sena, was sworn in as chief minister after he staked claim to form the government with BJP, and 51-year-old Fadnavis as his deputy. Sources said the BJP leadership expects Fadnavis will be able to monitor Shinde’s activities and work towards the party’s objectives. “It was felt that if Fadnavis is not made deputy CM, it would result in a complete free hand for Shinde,” a senior leader said. from India News | Latest News Headlines & Live Updates from India - Times of India https://ift.tt/VCwFyYn

Why BJP said no to CM and Fadnavis yes to deputy CM

A triumphant Eknath Shinde arrived for the swearing-in ceremony with his infant grandson in his arms and took oath after invoking Sena founder Bal Thackeray and his mentor Anand Dighe. By contrast, Devendra Fadnavis looked visibly uncomfortable. The BJP’s move is also in line with the pattern it had followed in Bihar. It had given the top post to Nitish Kumar in 2020, though it had more seats than the JDU. from India News | Latest News Headlines & Live Updates from India - Times of India https://ift.tt/P6ECFlH
