Maharashtra Politics: Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis has retaliated by rejecting the claims of opposition leaders to change the CM. Devendra Fadnavis said on Monday (July 24) that nowadays many senior leaders are making various speculations. There is no merit in those speculations. There will be no change in the post of Chief Minister.
Devendra Fadnavis further said, “There is no reason to change the Chief Minister. Eknath Shinde will remain the Chief Minister. My party is the largest party in Mahayuti. Being the leader of the largest party, I am saying that our Chief Minister Eknath Shinde Will remain.”
What did Prithviraj Chavan say?
In fact, senior Maharashtra Congress leader and former Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan has said that after August 10, Ajit Pawar will become the Chief Minister of the state. I cannot disclose my sources. Prithviraj Chavan told news agency ANI that I had talked about it long back, even immediately after the split in NCP.
He said that the anti-defection decision against the Eknath Shinde faction would be given around August 10. They cannot escape disqualification in any way as they have clearly violated the rules. That’s why the post of CM will be vacant. CM has also met PM Modi along with his family. After this meeting, his departure is certain.
