Reportedly after a long wait in maharashtra, the cabinet expansion took place and Devendra Fadnavis' government is finally ready. However, now the smell of controversy has started coming over the expansion in the Mahayuti. Leaders of other allies including the main parties of the Mahayuti (BJP, shiv sena and NCP) are also openly expressing their displeasure over not getting a place in the cabinet. bjp workers of the area are angry as bjp mla from nagpur East assembly seat krishna Khopde did not get a chance to become a minister. After the swearing-in ceremony ended on sunday (December 15) night, a large number of workers had gathered near krishna Khopde's house. They have taken a collective decision to resign from organizational posts in BJP.
Meanwhile Bhandara mla narendra Bhondekar, angry over not getting a ministerial post, has resigned from the post of Deputy leader of Shiv Sena. During the elections, Eknath Shinde had promised narendra Bhondekar a ministerial post. However, Bhondekar was not called for the swearing-in ceremony and neither was Bhondekar, a three-time mla, given a place in the cabinet. bjp leader's staunch supporter and shiv sena leader Tanaji Sawant is also seen angry over the cabinet expansion. Tanaji Sawant did not go to the raj bhavan yesterday because he did not get a chance to become a minister.
Moreover before the cabinet expansion, the MLAs who were to be selected had received calls. At the same time, those who did not receive the call understood that they were out of the race. One of them was former minister Chhagan Bhujbal, due to which he and his supporters were angry. ncp meeting was held in Deshpande Hall in nagpur, but Chhagan Bhujbal was missing. He stayed in his hotel. Recently, republican party of india (A) chief ramdas athawale has clearly said that he was not even invited to the program. Athawale said that he had a meeting with devendra fadnavis and asked for at least one ministry, but there is not a single face of his party in the cabinet even though the party has performed well in the maharashtra elections. Navneet Rana's mla husband, Rashtriya yuva Swabhiman party chief ravi Rana also left the session and returned to Amravati. He says that despite having five bjp MLAs in the district, he was not given a place in the cabinet. Apart from this, posts of ravi Rana's supporters are going viral on social media. The MLAs who were removed from the ministerial post in the Mahagathbandhan are also angry.
