Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has claimed that there is no race to claim credit for work among the ruling Mahayuta allies, and he is working as a team with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
Shinde on Saturday commented in response to a question on the full-page advertisements published in major newspapers, which featured only CM Fadnavis.
One advertisement showed Fadnavis paying floral tribute to the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, while the other showed him obedient to Lord Ganesha on the occasion of Anant Chaturdashi on the last day of the 10-day Ganpati festival. Both advertisements have ‘Devbhou’ written at the bottom of Marathi. However, it may not be known who sponsored the advertisements.
Speaking to reporters on the occasion of a public function in Thane on Saturday, Shinde was asked whether the advertisement CM Fadnavis had tried to project himself as a architect of Maratha reservation.
In response, Shinde said, “We are not in the race to take credit … whether it is the Maratha community or the other backward class (OBC) community, the work of giving justice to them has been done by the Mahayuta Sarkar. The verification of this work was already received in the final assembly elections.”
He said, “Now Devendraji and I have started my second innings as a team. Moving forward, our agenda remains the same – the development of the state and helping the poor and the needy,” he said.
The issue of Maratha Reservation recently pressed activist Manoj Zerennge to demand a five -day hunger strike in Mumbai once again. Jarang started protests on August 29 and closed it on 2 September after the state government accepted most of his demands.
After the deadlock ended, CM Fadnavis said that the government got a solution in the interest of the Maratha community.
The ruling Mahayuta consists of BJP, Shiv Sena -led Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).
