New Delhi [India], December 5 (ANI): Ahead of the swearing-in ceremony of Maharashtra Chief Minister designate Devendra Fadnavis, Congress MP Pramod Tiwari on Thursday said that the Mahayuti alliance is not forming government in the interest of the people.
“On 23rd (November) the results had come, they got a huge majority…there was some deep infighting and it took 11 days to solve that and declare the name of Devendra Fadnavis. If this is how it is beginning, the end will also be in a similar way…they (Mahayuti) are not forming govt in the interest of people,” Tiwari told ANI in the national capital.
Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut addressing a press conference said that the era of Eknath Shinde is over.
“Shinde era is over, it was just for two years. His usage is now over and he has been tossed aside. Shinde will never be the CM of this state again. They can even break Shinde’s party, this has always been BJP’s line in politics – they break and finish the party of those who work with them. Devendra Fadnavis will be the CM of the state from today. He has the majority but despite that, they were unable to form the Government for 15 days – it means that there is something wrong within their party or Mahayuti. This issue will start showing from tomorrow. They are not working in the interest of Maharashtra or the country. They have come together out of their selfishness,” Raut said.
“But people across the state have come out on the streets against the election results, that they do not accept it. Still, the state is getting the CM today, we welcome him,” he added.
Bharatiya Janata Party leader Devendra Fadnavis will be sworn in as Maharashtra Chief Minister at the Azad Maidan in Mumbai on Thursday.
Two deputy chief ministers, NCP leader Ajit Pawar and Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde, will also be sworn in at the ceremony in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024 witnessed a decisive victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Mahayuti alliance, securing a landslide win with 235 seats. The results marked a significant milestone for the BJP, which emerged as the single-largest party with 132 seats.
The Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party also made notable gains, with 57 and 41 seats, respectively.
While, the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) suffered a major setback with Congress winning just 16 seats. Its alliance partner, Shiv Sena (UBT), won 20 seats, while the NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) secured only 10 seats. (ANI)
