Tussle over CM’s post widens Shinde-Fadnavis divide in Mahayuti

Hindustan Times  

MUMBAI: The rift between chief minister Eknath Shinde and deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis over chief ministership was revealed to everyone on Tuesday, when a visibly unhappy Shinde did not engage with his deputy as he paid tributes to martyrs of 26/11 terror attacks; later, the duo also maintained a safe distance from each other at Raj Bhavan when the chief minister submitted his resignation to Governor CP Radhakrishnan. Significantly, the two top leaders of the ruling alliance have not had a cordial relationship for the last two-and-a-half-year-long tenure since Shinde became chief minister in June 2022. While Fadnavis, a former chief minister with more MLAs than the Shinde-led Shiv Sena, was expecting to play the role of the big brother, Shinde kept asserting his authority. But during the campaign for assembly election, the rift became visible as Shinde’s spin doctors projected him as the brain behind the Ladki Bahin Yojna, and Fadnavis’s team ran a separate campaign to show ‘Devabhau’ as a dear brother of women in Maharashtra.
