How did Eknath Shinde become CM, why did he have to become Deputy Chief Minister? Fadnavis gave the reason

New Delhi: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis openly answered questions in AAP court. How Eknath Shinde became the Chief Minister and why he had to become deputy CM, Devendra Fadnavis also explained the reason behind this.

Shinde was decided after the breakdown of Shiv Sena

Devendra Fadnavis said that I should say clearly. It was decided from the first day itself. Since Eknath Shinde courageously did all this work, he should be made the Chief Minister at such a time, because those who have come with him should also get confidence. Therefore, from the very first day it was decided that Chief Minister Shinde would become only. There was no two opinions in this. There was no doubt about it even in my mind.

‘For me the post of Deputy Chief Minister was Surprising’: Fadnavis

If you ask my leader, then I first proposed that if Shinde is made the Chief Minister, the government will run firmly. Surprising for me was definitely that I used to believe that I would be out of the government, but my party decided that if the government is to run, then his main man should also be inside. At that time I felt a little strange but later I noticed that the decision of my leaders was right because the government stays inside, cannot walk from outside and I went inside. Therefore, he was able to run the government strongly and came back.

Why did Eknath Shinde become deputy CM this time

India TV chairman Rajat Sharma asked the question that Shinde had great hope that he would be made Chief Minister again, you will become deputy CM again? Responding to this, Fadnavis said that Shinde understands politics. The 145 figure was required for the majority and the BJP won 137 seats. Shinde realized that when a party wins so much seats close to the majority, he should make his leader Chief Minister, otherwise the workers will send a wrong message. When our senior leaders said in the meeting that the Chief Minister will be from the BJP, Shinde immediately said, “I understand, you have won so many seats. BJP deserves, you are entitled to it.”
