Mumbai, The revolt in the ruling Shiv Sena in Maharashtra has put the government ahead of Mahavikas in crisis. Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde’s rebellious attitude towards his supportive MLAs
It has caused a stir in Maharashtra politics. Let us know what effect this whole chronology has had on the 6 veteran leaders of Maharashtra politics and what may happen in the future.
The Shiv Sena had been seeing sparks of rebellion for a long time. He then got air in the Rajya Sabha and Legislative Council elections.
In Maharashtra, senior BJP leader and former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis was able to take advantage of the way differences were created in the Shiv Sena.
As a result, due to cross-voting in the Mahavikas Aghadi alliance, the BJP got one additional member each in the Rajya Sabha and Legislative Council elections.
This is the first time such a large scale uprising has taken place due to differences in the Shiv Sena. For party president and chief minister Uddhav Thackeray, facing this crisis is the biggest test ever. This is a clear indication that his grip on the party and the MLAs has weakened.
For all these reasons his reputation in the party has been damaged. Also, his health is not good. It remains to be seen whether Uddhav Thackeray will succeed in persuading Eknath Shinde and his supporters.
Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde, who turned from a rickshaw puller to a politician, has revolted and introduced his strength in the party.
Eknath Shinde gained prominence in the party due to his closeness with Shiv Sena leader Anant Dighe. Then gradually his size at the party began to grow. He was upset for some time due to differences with the party leadership on some issues.
Eventually, he revolted with some of the party’s MLAs to jeopardize the state’s development-led government.
Even Pawar, who is credited with resolving the issues of his party and allied forces, could not stop the cross-voting of the leaders of the Mahavikas Agadhi Coalition in the Rajya Sabha and Legislative Council elections.
It may be recalled that Pawar was instrumental in forging a Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress alliance to keep the BJP out of power in Maharashtra in the 2012 Assembly elections.
Besides, Ajit Pawar revolted in the NCP and even during the game of forming a government with his BJP, Pawar played such a game that the then Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had to resign shortly. SS2KP
