MUMBAI: Amid growing speculation over the next Maharashtra Chief Minister (CM), Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut has raised critical questions about the delay in the announcement. With the BJP-led Mahayuti coalition securing a commanding majority in the recent Maharashtra Assembly elections, Raut has asked why the party is yet to formally name a CM despite their clear victory.
Raut pointed out the internal indecision within the BJP, suggesting that the party is facing a “compulsion” in naming a leader for the top post. He questioned whether the BJP’s leadership, particularly Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, are struggling to find a suitable candidate for the role, despite their strong mandate. According to Raut, the delay reflects a deeper political strategy, one that could be tied to their wider national interests, including their approach in states like Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
Raut’s remarks come amid a chaotic political environment in Maharashtra, where the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is asserting its own political agenda. He criticized the BJP’s handling of the political situation, accusing them of playing tactical games rather than focusing on governance.
As Maharashtra waits for clarity, the political landscape remains tense with uncertainty over who will lead the state. The BJP’s struggle to finalize the CM post continues to stir discussions on its broader political maneuvers.
