Eknath Shinde is unwell: Sena leader rejects talk of sulk over Mahayuti deadlock

India Today  

Shiv Sena has dismissed speculation that its leader and caretaker Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is upset about the stalemate over the Maharashtra Chief Minister's post and hence travelled to his native village, cancelling a meeting of the Mahayuti alliance. According to reports, Eknath Shinde is insisting on heavyweight portfolios like the Home Department along with the Deputy Chief Minister's post, similar to BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis, who held the Home Ministry while serving as Deputy Chief Minister. Earlier, Shiv Sena leader and Shinde’s close aide, Sanjay Shirsat, hinted that Eknath Shinde might not accept the position of Deputy Chief Minister. Shinde has repeatedly stated that he would not be an obstacle to government formation and would abide by the decisions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the Chief Minister’s post.
