Deputy CM means dedicated CM to common man- Eknath Shinde
Dear sisters and everyone blessed the Mahayuti government. People from the opposing party will not be able to make even the leader of the opposition party. We have had a successful government, I would like to thank my colleagues for this. We carried forward Balasaheb Thackeray’s ideology of Hindutva and strengthened it. Our only agenda is development, development and development. Right now I am the Deputy CM, Deputy CM means, I consider myself a dedicated CM to the common man. I will fully support and cooperate with Devendra Fadnavis, this government belongs to the people.
Let us tell you that after the results on November 23, there was a tussle among the Mahayuti regarding the Chief Minister in Maharashtra, perhaps this is the reason why Devendra Fadnavis took oath as the Chief Minister about 2 weeks after the results. After the results, news was coming out from within that Eknath Shinde was pressurizing him to become the CM and meanwhile, after his visit to the village, these rumors got further fueled. But it is said that all is well that ends well. Eknath Shinde supported the name of Devendra Fadnavis and accepted himself as his deputy and also promised to take Maharashtra forward.
