Shiv Sena MLA Resigns Party Post After Missing Out on Cabinet Berth

Shinde Ally Resigns Party Post After ⁢Cabinet Snub

Nagpur, missouri – A rift has emerged within Maharashtra’s ruling coalition after ‍a ⁢Shiv Sena MLA resigned from a key party position following his exclusion from the newly formed cabinet.⁤ Narendra Bhondekar, a three-term MLA representing the Bhandara-Pavani constituency, stepped down as deputy leader⁢ of the Shiv Sena and party ⁢coordinator for Vidarbha.

Bhondekar, a loyalist of Chief Minister Eknath shinde, had reportedly been promised ⁣a ministerial berth. However, his name was conspicuously absent from the list of 39 ministers who took oath in Nagpur on Tuesday. ‍

Adding to the drama, Bhondekar’s attempts to reach out to Shinde and other senior leaders, including Uday Samant and Shinde’s son Shrikant, went‍ unanswered.Samant, ⁢who⁤ was sworn in as a minister, did not respond to Bhondekar’s messages.

Bhondekar’s resignation highlights the simmering tensions⁢ within the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, which secured a resounding victory in the recent assembly elections. While the ⁤BJP emerged as the dominant force wiht 132 seats, the Shiv Sena and NCP secured 57 ⁢and 41 seats respectively.

The cabinet expansion, which took place more than three weeks after the election results, saw 19 BJP members, 11 shiv Sena members, and nine⁤ NCP ⁣members sworn in. Notably absent from the list were prominent figures like Ramdas Athavale, leader ⁤of the Republican Party of India (RPI), and nationalist Congress Party leader Chaggan Bhujbal.

Athavale, who had publicly expressed his⁢ expectation of⁣ a ministerial position, stated⁤ his intention to raise ⁢the issue with BJP national president J.P. Nadda and Home Minister Amit Shah. Bhujbal, meanwhile, was conspicuously absent from the pre-oath ceremony gathering of NCP members in Nagpur.Deepak Kesarkar, who ‍served as Primary Education minister in Shinde’s previous government, also skipped the event, stating that only those who received invitations attended.

The cabinet appointments have sparked speculation about power dynamics within the ruling coalition and the potential for future friction. As the new government settles in, all⁤ eyes will be on how⁤ these internal tensions play out and whether they impact the alliance’s stability.
