Mahayuti meeting cancelled again as Eknath Shinde makes himself unavailable
Maharashtra but there is no end to the suspense on who the next chief minister will be. For the second time in the last four days, a meeting of the Mahayuti leaders had to be cancelled on Monday due to the unavailability of caretaker chief minister Eknath Shinde. He was taking rest at his Thane residence as per doctor's advice.
Shinde on Sunday had said that he and the two deputy CMs (BJP's Devendra Fadnavis and NCP chief Ajit Pawar) would take forward the discussions on the CMs post, distribution of portfolios and party-wise berths in the new Cabinet on Monday.
The three Mahayuti leaders held their first meeting in Delhi last week in the presence of Union home minister Amit Shah and BJP chief J P Nadda but failed to reach a consensus on power-sharing agreement. The much-awaited second meeting of the Mahayuti leaders last Friday was put on hold after Shinde suddenly flew to his native village Dare in Satara district citing ill health.
After the results of the election were out, several Shiv Sena leaders orchestrated a campaign for continuance of Shinde as the next chief minister, despite BJP winning 132 seats on its own in the 288-member assembly. They gave the example of the Bihar model where Nitish Kumar is at the helm. Some Sena leaders even claimed that the BJP had promised to give Shinde the top job irrespective of the numbers.
