India's longest bridge over the sea was inaugurated on friday in mumbai, the capital of Maharashtra. Its foundation stone was laid by PM narendra modi in december 2016 and today it was also inaugurated by him. This bridge is not only witnessing the reduction of distance between Navi mumbai and mumbai but it has also seen the political picture of maharashtra changing during its construction. The one who was the cm in the coalition government at that time is now the deputy cm and the one who was in the opposition at that time is today seen in the picture of the inauguration by joining the government. Let us know what has changed in politics from that time till now. PM narendra modi inaugurated the 21.8 km long six-lane mumbai Trans Harbor Link i.e. Atal Setu. PM narendra modi, maharashtra cm Eknath Shinde, deputy cm devendra fadnavis, and deputy cm Ajit Pawar were seen in this inauguration photo. At the same time, when the foundation stone of this bridge was laid in 2016, the picture was different.
At that time the cm was devendra fadnavis and today's cm Eknath Shinde used to be the health Minister in his cabinet. This was the time of maharashtra government between 2014 and 2019. At that time, there was a government of bjp and undivided shiv sena, which was led by uddhav Thackeray. But after the formation of the government in 2019, the politics of maharashtra took such a turn that those who were in the government were out and those who were in the opposition joined the government.
Eknath Shinde- journey from health Minister to CM
In 2019, bjp and shiv sena contested the elections together but a dispute started regarding the post of cm and a member of the thackeray family, who was away from power, became the cm of Maharashtra. uddhav thackeray formed the government with ncp and Congress. But after three years, 2022 Eknath Shinde rebelled in shiv sena along with the MLAs of his group and the result was that the Mahavikas Aghadi government fell and after forming an alliance with bjp, he was offered the seat of cm and thus Eknath Shinde became the cm of the state and devendra fadnavis, who was once his cm, became his deputy.
