MUMBAI: While Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde and deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis preferred to be brief in their reactions to Speaker’s order in NCP MLAs’ case on Thursday, Fadnavis categorically stated that going forward, there will be no alliance with Uddhav Thackeray.
“He has hurt us. The manner in which they criticise, the abuses they heap on Prime Minister…Political differences can be ironed out but when minds and feelings are hurt, it is difficult to work out things,” Fadnavis said.
Shinde said he had acted in keeping with the Constitution.”The result is out, no tension,” he said. Fadnavis, on the other hand, said that he was yet to read the verdict. “I have heard that they (Sharad Pawar faction) got neither the party name nor the symbol,” he said.
Fadnavis, in an interview to a regional newspaper, said that the next Maharashtra CM will be from the Mahayuti (comprising BJP, Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar-led NCP) as it is guaranteed to get a majority in the assembly elections due later this year.
