After the formation of the government in Maharashtra and the rift between the BJP and Shiv Sena for the post of Chief Minister, now Sharad Pawar’s party NCP and Congress have become active. It has been 11 days since the October 24 Maharashtra assembly election results. But the government has not yet been formed in the state. The battle between the BJP and Shiv Sena has gone so far that the matter of forming a government has fallen into trouble. Now the ball is in Sharad Pawar’s court.
NCP chief Sharad Pawar is scheduled to meet Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi in the capital New Delhi today. On the other hand, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will also meet Amit Shah in Delhi. The biggest question that arises is whether the government of Maharashtra will now be formed in Delhi! The BJP’s central high command and the leadership of the state seem worried with the new political equation formed between the Shiv Sena and the NCP for the last 3 days after the Bharatiya Janata Party soured.
Senior Shiv Sena leaders Sanjay Raut and Sharad Pawar’s friendship is flourishing. Both have also multiplied the formation of government in the state. On the other hand, till now Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is determined about the formation of the government and he has also booked Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium for his swearing-in ceremony on November 5. After the meeting of Sonia Gandhi and Sharad Pawar in Delhi today, the way can be cleared for the formation of government in Maharashtra! Although NCP chief Sharad Pawar has not opened the cards yet to form a government with Shiv Sena, but he has definitely hinted.
Here let us tell you that in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, Shiv Sena won 56 seats and BJP won 105 seats. While NCP has got 54 seats, Congress 44 and others 29 seats. Ever since the election results, there has been a deadlock between the BJP and the Shiv Sena over the chief minister’s post. The term of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly expires on 9 November. There has been no communication between the BJP and Shiv Sena about the post of CM in the state.
Sharad Pawar, who is considered to be an expert player in politics, is now eyeing. If the BJP and Shiv Sena do not form a government in Maharashtra, then the Shiv Sena will have to take support of the Congress along with the NCP, only then the government can be formed. In such a situation, the Congress will also play an important role in the formation of the government. Second, and Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut is also going to meet the Governor in Maharashtra today.
Raut said that the Governor has been a very experienced politician and we have been blessed with him in the past. On the meeting today, Sanjay Raut said that we will meet the Governor and tell him the attitude of our party. Rawat claims 170 MLAs are ready to form the government with him. However, the Shiv Sena has increased the headache for the BJP which emerged as the largest party in the Maharashtra elections.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will also come to Delhi today to meet Amit Shah
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is all set for his second term. Fadnavis has also booked the Wankhede Stadium to be sworn in as the Chief Minister. Devendra Fadnavis is also scheduled to come to Delhi today to meet Home Minister Amit Shah. On the other hand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is returning to Delhi today after finishing his three-day tour from Thailand. Significantly, till now PM Modi has not given any official statement in the Maharashtra BJP and Shiv Sena controversy, no discussion with Devendra Fadnavis about this.
It is possible that after PM Modi’s return from Thailand, Fadnavis can also meet him. Today, everyone is eyeing the meeting of Sonia Gandhi and Sharad Pawar, Devendra Fadnavis and Amit Shah in Delhi, in such a situation, it will be time to see what equations emerge in Maharashtra and whose government is formed.
