Mumbai: President of the Republican Party of India (RPI) Ramdas Athawale claimed that BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis could get his second term as Chief Minister of Maharashtra, if only he had taken her advice.
Speaking at an event in Mumbai, Athawale said that the reason behind differences between former colleagues Shiv Sena And the BJP had the chief minister’s post in the state and had the leaders listened to him, it could have been easily resolved.
“BJP and Shiv Sena were not on the same page on the post of CM, and hence, later joined hands with NCP and Congress. However, during the power struggle at that time, I had suggested to Devendra Fadnavis that he shared K. post with Uddhav Thackeray For two and a half years. Had he followed my advice that day, he would probably have been the Chief Minister of Maharashtra today.”
He said he also had an option if the two sides still could not reach a consensus. “I had even suggested that if Shiv Sena and BJP are unable to reach a final decision, make me the chief minister of the state,” he said.
The Shiv Sena-BJP alliance in Maharashtra broke down in the fight for the CM’s chair in 2019. The Shiv Sena, the oldest ally of the BJP, later forged an unlikely partnership with the NCP and the Congress, which is now in power. Maha Vikas Aghadi Government in the state.
Meanwhile, amid reports of ongoing problems in the MVA government, several leaders of the ruling coalition have assured that the new allies will complete their five-year term in the state peacefully.
