New Delhi. The reason for the delay in the formation of the grand alliance government in Maharashtra has come to light. Sanjay Shirsat, spokesperson of Eknath Shinde’s party Shiv Sena, has openly said that his party should get the Home Ministry. Shirsat said that BJP has benefited by making Shinde the face of the grand alliance government. Shinde gave Maratha reservation and thus the Maratha support for the Mahayuti increased. Now the question is whether BJP will accept this demand of Eknath Shinde or will it convince him in some way? Shinde is currently camping in his village Satara.
On the other hand, in Maharashtra, even though the name of the CM has not been announced yet, the date and place of swearing in of the new government has almost been finalized. Aaj Tak has claimed on the basis of sources that the new government of Mahayuti alliance will be sworn in on December 5 at Azad Maidan in Mumbai. However, no information has been revealed yet about how many ministers will take oath along with the CM in this swearing-in ceremony. It is worth noting that after a lot of bickering over the CM face in the Mahayuti, Eknath Shinde had announced just two days ago that he accepts the CM of BJP. On the same day, Eknath Shinde, Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Power went to Delhi and met Home Minister Amit Shah.
After the meeting of Amit Shah and Mahayuti leaders, speculations started that an agreement has been reached on making Devendra Fadnavis the Chief Minister. The next day, the Mahayuti meeting in Mumbai was suddenly canceled and Eknath Shinde went to his village Satara. After that, discussions started going on that Shinde wanted his party to have the Home Ministry in the new government.
