After Shiv Sena and NCP, is there going to be a big break in Congress too? Speculation intensified due to Maharashtra minister’s statement
BJP sources say that many Congress leaders are also in touch with the party. BJP’s talks with some people are in the final stages. A decision on this can be taken soon.
After the rebellion of Ajit Pawar in Maharashtra, political equations are continuously changing. After Shiv Sena, NCP has also divided into two camps. After this, the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance has got more strength, while after the Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA), the Congress is seen alone. Now BJP sources have claimed that many Congress leaders are also in touch with him. An alleged deal has been kept on his behalf, talks are on. Soon many Congress leaders may also join the government.
Speaking to news agency ANI, Maharashtra Forest Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar claimed that leaders of Congress and other parties are interested in the transit. He said that not only Congress but people of many other parties are also not happy. He says that the party leaders are selfish who hinder the development of the country. Many do not want the Prime Minister. That’s why he wants to join BJP. After Shiv Sena and NCP, now the biggest challenge before the Congress is to save its clan. The party is keeping an eye on all the MLAs.
Intensification of exercise regarding Leader of Opposition in Maharashtra
The discussion has also intensified regarding who will be the leader of the opposition in Maharashtra. Churning is being done on behalf of the Congress regarding the leader of the opposition. Talking about the current situation in Maharashtra, defection can be avoided only if NCP has 37 MLAs with Ajit Pawar out of 53 MLAs. If it has less MLAs then they can be suspended. Apart from Ajit Pawar, 8 other MLAs took oath as ministers. However, in the meeting to be held today, the situation may become clear regarding how many MLAs are with both the factions.
Sharad Pawar filed a caveat in the Election Commission
The matter of break in NCP has reached the Election Commission. A caveat has been filed in the Election Commission on behalf of Sharad Pawar. Sharad Pawar told the Election Commission that before reaching any conclusion in this matter, his side should also be heard. Like Shiv Sena, the Election Commission can also take a decision regarding the split in NCP. Before this, claims are being made from both the sides regarding the numerical strength.
