maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde said on wednesday that whoever the top leadership of the bharatiya janata party (BJP) declares as the next chief minister of the state, he will fully support him. Shinde said, 'Yesterday I called prime minister Modi (Narendra Modi) and amit shah and asked them to decide (on the post of Chief Minister). I have assured them that whatever decision they take, I will follow it.' He said, 'Our shiv sena will fully support the BJP's decision to nominate the next chief minister of Maharashtra. There is no obstacle from our side.' Shinde also dismissed reports that he is disappointed at not being made the chief minister again despite the ruling Mahayuti alliance under his leadership achieving a spectacular victory. He said, 'No one is angry. We have worked as a Mahayuti.'
What did SP say?
Samajwadi party has taken a dig at this statement of Shinde. SP spokesperson Fakhrul Hasan Chand said that - Shinde ji, bjp is not related to anyone, you needed it and it has been fulfilled, now if you need bjp then wait!! Also Ajit Power is with bjp, there is no need for your party's support. Shinde ji, Ajit ji, recognize your own characters or else you will be removed from the story!! Soon the leaders of maharashtra will return to their homes and the broken parties will also unite again!!
