Shinde resigns from CM’s post; BJP looks at Fadnavis to take over

Hindustan Times  

MUMBAI: While chief minister Eknath Shinde resigned from his post hours before the government’s five-year term ended, the Bharatiya Janata Party, which leads the Mahayuti alliance in the state, has decided to claim the post and is expected to begin the process of picking the leader of the legislative party by Wednesday. “It was clear that Fadnavis would be the new CM when Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his speech at the party headquarters called Fadnavis ‘my dear friend Fadnavis’,” said the BJP leader. Secondly, we formed an alliance with JD-U in Bihar so that BJP could make inroads into the state, which did not happen, hence there is no question of replicating the same in Maharashtra.” Former union minister and BJP’s election coordinator Raosaheb Danve rebutted claims of some Sena leaders that Shinde was promised the top post before the election. “BJP has conveyed to Shinde that the CM’s post will be retained by the party,” said a senior Sena leader. NCP, RPI back Fadnavis Union social justice minister and RPI chief Ramdas Athwale pointed out that BJP had decided to make Fadnavis CM and Shinde should accept it.
