Opposition Leader: Ajit Pawar Might Replace Eknath Shinde As Maharashtra CM; But Why?

Vijay Wadettiwar, the head of the opposition in Maharashtra, indicated on Monday that Ajit Pawar, the leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and deputy chief minister, may take over as the new Chief Minister. Speaking at a press conference in Gadchiroli, Wadettiwar stated that plans are also being made to admit Eknath Shinde, Maharashtra CM to a hospital and then replace him later on due to “health reasons.”

Ajit Pawar meets Sharad Pawar ‘secretly’

He claimed that Ajit Pawar, the leader of the dissident NCP MLAs, and NCP leader Sharad Pawar recently met in Pune amid rumors regarding Shinde’s potential replacement and in light of “talks among MLAs loyal to Ajit that he could be made the chief minister.”

CMO lends information

After his supporter and MLA Sanjay Shirsat recently asserted that the CM has fallen ill as he works for 24 hours, talk about Shinde’s ‘health’ increased while he was in his own village in Satara.

‘Information is coming out about ongoing preparations to admit Eknath Shinde in a hospital and replace him with a new chief minister,’ Wadettiwar said. The Chief Minister’s Office (CMO), according to the leader of the opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly, has reported that Shinde is not doing well.

‘I fear that he (Shinde) may be admitted to a hospital for two months and may be replaced on medical grounds. People of Maharashtra are asking whether preparations are on to admit Shinde in a hospital on medical grounds,’ the senior Congress leader said.

Eknath Shinde – Maharashtra CM’s illness

Notably, the mouthpiece for the Shiv Sena (UBT), Saamana, also referred to MLA Shirsat’s assertion regarding Shinde’s “illness.”

“Shinde works for 24 hours, but it does not reflect anywhere in the state. If he has lost his sleep from the fear of losing his post anytime, it cannot be termed that he is working round-the-clock,’ the Saamana said in its editorial on Monday.

“If Shirsat’s claims are true, Shinde should be admitted to an ICU and kept away from meeting (Deputy CMs) Devendra Fadnavis or Ajit Pawar. Shinde should be admitted to a good hospital in Mumbai or Thane,” the editorial said sarcastically.
