After Portfolios Declared, Mahayuti Ministers Compete for District Guardian Ministership

Deccan Chronicle  

Mumbai: After the cabinet portfolio distributions, tug of war has begun among the Maharashtra ministers over the post of ‘guardian minister’ of the districts. Shiv Sena cabinet Bharat Gogawale has staked claim over Raigad district, while Sanjay Shirshat wants to become the guardian minister of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar. NCP leader and Maharashtra agriculture minister Manikrao Kokate also said that the NCP has a natural claim over the guardian ministership of Nashik as his party has the largest number of MLAs from there. Shiv Sena cabinet minister Sanjay Shirsat said that his party would keep the guardian ministership of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar and he would be the next guardian minister. Shiv Sena also wants to continue its dominance in the Thane district, while the BJP wants the guardian minister’s post for its minister Ganesh Naik.
