Devendra Fadnavis reverses decision, names Sena minister MSRTC head
Days after chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and his deputy Eknath Shinde jointly rubbished reports of a rift between them, Fadnavis reversed his own decision of appointing a bureaucrat to head the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation and has cleared the decks for the appointment of transport minister and Shiv Sena leader Pratap Sarnaik as chairman of the corporation. The CM’s decision last month to appoint a bureaucrat was perceived as the result of the tussle that has been brewing between him and Shinde ever since the formation of the Mahayuti 2.0 government in December 2024. “A senior minister had to resign even before the government completed three months, and other two ministers are facing serious charges,” said a Sena leader requesting anonymity. “The appointment was cancelled within a month, and it is the second such example of ‘reconciliation’ between Shinde and Fadnavis,” said the Sena leader.
