Congress offers CM position to Shinde, Pawar in Maharashtra

businesstoday.in

Nana Patole, a former Congress leader in Maharashtra, has offered Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar a chance to share the chief minister's position. He claims both leaders feel constrained in the current BJP-led government. Patole's comments come amid reports of tension within the ruling Mahayuti alliance, particularly between Shinde and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Discontent has grown over project management and ministerial appointments, leading to speculation about potential shifts in political alliances. Support for Patole's remarks has emerged from Congress and Shiv Sena leaders, who suggest that Shinde may consider leaving the ruling coalition if he continues to feel sidelined. They emphasize that political dynamics can change unexpectedly.
