The Mahashtra Government has ordered that all sets will now go through the Deputy Minister of Ekatha Shinde before the CM Devendra Fadnavis for approval is submitted.
The main secretary of the State Secretary Sujat Saunik issued an order in this sense on March 18.
This step is trying to revive the arrangement that existed in 2023 that the ensembles were verified at that time two representatives of CMS – Ajit Pawar and Mr. Fadnavis – before the then Minister Shinde.
“Since July 26, 2023, the ensembles have been moved from the Deputy Minister Ajit Paware, who holds the financial department, to (then) representatives of CM Fadnavis, who held home, law and judiciary before being sent (then) CM Shinde for approval”.
This arrangement was carried out after Mr. Pawar, who was the then opposition leader in the State Assembly, joined the government led by Shinde along with several MLA NCP 2. July 2023.
Now, with Mr. Fadnavis, who took over the lead as the main minister, after the victory of Mahayuti (including BJP, Shinde’s Shiv Sena and Pawar led by NCP) in state surveys last year, the agreements have changed.
All files will be directed from a representative of CM Ajit Pawar, who continues to hold the financial department, to Eknath Shinde, who is also a representative of CM and holds portfolios for the development of housing and cities.
The files will be sent to Mr. Fadnavis after Mr. Shinde’s consent according to the latest order.
The Mahayuti regime recorded in the elections up to the 288-member state assembly of land landsthays and in December last year re-established the government.
Mr. Fadnavis became cm after BJP packed 132 seats, followed by SHIV Sen-57 and NCP-41.
Since Mahayuti 2.0, there has been speculation about the “Cold War” between Mr. Shinde and Mr. Fadnavis. Both leaders strongly denied speculation.
There were disagreements on the basis of the Guardian Minister’s habitat in some districts. Mr. Fadnavis had to cancel his decision on the appointment of ministers of the guardians in the districts of Nashik and Raigad after Mr. Shinde’s objections.
