Political stir intensifies from Maharashtra to Delhi, why did Shinde become special?

Maharashtra Politics: After the big victory of Mahayuti (BJP, Shiv Sena Shinde faction, and NCP Ajit Pawar faction) in the Maharashtra assembly elections, the question now is who will lead the state. Discussions have intensified regarding the post of Chief Minister as well as the formation of the cabinet. The eyes of the public and political analysts are fixed on the decision of the BJP and Mahayuti alliance.

Preparation for decisions in Delhi: Important meeting with Amit Shah

According to sources, senior leaders of Mahayuti—Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar—may meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi tonight. In this meeting, the post of Chief Minister and the formation of the cabinet are likely to be discussed.

Amit Shah has sought the report card of the alliance MLAs and former ministers. On the basis of this report card, it will be decided who will become a minister. It will evaluate their performance, loyalty to the organization, and the work done in the past elections.

What will be seen in the report card?

Performance in elections:

To what extent did the MLA or minister work for the alliance in the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections.

Management of the ministry:

If someone is a former minister, how did he manage his ministry.

Relationship and communication:

How was his relationship with the leaders and MLAs of the constituent parties.

Use of funds:

Whether the funds given by the Center and the state were used properly or not.

Controversy and image:

Did the minister make any such statement or do any work that put the alliance in trouble.

Tug of war for the post of Chief Minister: Who will become the next CM?

The most discussions about the post of Chief Minister are going on between Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde. Many leaders of the local unit of BJP are trying to contact Shinde, but according to sources, Shinde has canceled all the meetings for now. Shinde is also staking his claim on the Home Ministry.

Eknath Shinde's displeasure:

Shinde has decided to rest in Thane and has canceled all meetings today citing the advice of doctors. At the same time, BJP leaders are seeking time to meet him, but Shinde is currently maintaining distance from them.

Caste and regional equations in cabinet formation

If sources are to be believed, Amit Shah has asked to keep in mind the caste and regional equations along with the report card. In a large and diverse state like Maharashtra, these equations will play an important role in the stability of the government.

Will Ajit Pawar get a big post?

Ajit Pawar, who is leading a faction of the NCP, is considered a strong contender for the post of Deputy Chief Minister. However, how effective his role will be in the cabinet will also depend on the consent of Amit Shah and the alliance.

Challenges and possibilities of Mahayuti

The biggest challenge in the formation of the Mahayuti government is coordination between the three major parties. There is a tussle going on regarding the claim for the post of Chief Minister and the distribution of important ministries.

But if the Mahayuti successfully overcomes this challenge, it can raise hopes of giving a stable and effective government in Maharashtra. With the announcement of the names of the Chief Minister and the cabinet, it will become clear in which direction the Mahayuti government will move forward in Maharashtra.

Now everyone's eyes are fixed on the meeting to be held in Delhi and the decision of Amit Shah.
