Maharashtra polls: ‘We will go wherever Shinde goes’: Sena leader’s remark kicks up row

Hindustan Times  

MUMBAI: A controversial remark by a senior Shiv Sena leader has set the cat among the pigeons in the Mahayuti alliance, just two days before the results of the Maharashtra assembly election are set to be declared. Sanjay Shirsat, MLA and chief spokesperson of the Shiv Sena led by chief minister Eknath Shinde, said they “will go wherever Shinde goes”. A day after exit polls suggested a win for the ruling Mahayuti alliance, of which the Sena is a part, political circles have been abuzz with speculation on who would become chief minister of Maharashtra, should the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance return to power – will Shinde retain the post or will it go to Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis? The BJP said the Sena leader’s remark was his personal opinion, while state BJP chief, Chandrashekhar Bawankule, said that BJP workers wanted Devendra Fadnavis to be chief minister again. Besides, they state, Shinde already heads the government and if Mahayuti returns to power, he should get the chief minister’s post again.
