“Eknath Shinde Is Being Removed, Maharashtra CM Will Change”, Says Shiv Sena Leader Sanjay Raut

Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut, said on Monday that Ajit Pawar who took oath as Maharashtra’s Deputy CM on Sunday would shortly succeed Eknath Shinde as the chief minister of Maharashtra.

Shinde would be dismissed from the position of CM, according to Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut, and 16 rebel Shiv Sena MLAs would be disqualified.

As per ANI, Sanjay Raut said, “Today I am saying this in front of the camera, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra is going to change. Eknath Shinde is being removed. Eknath Shinde and the 16 MLAs are going to be disqualified.”

“The BJP is breaking the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress but this will not benefit them (BJP) at all. In Maharashtra, we will fight the 2024 polls together. It is shocking that PM Modi had said that the leaders of the NCP are involved in corruption and now those leaders have taken oath in Raj Bhawan,” he added.

However BJP leader Narayan Rane responded contrary to Sanjay Raut’s declaration that Eknath Shinde will remain the Chief Minister of Maharashtra till next state elections.
