Ajit Pawar, the leader of the NCP, has entered the cabinet, adding a “third wheel” to the “failed double engine government” in Maharashtra, according to Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray. He claimed that selfishness and morality are currently at odds in politics.
On Sunday, Ajit Pawar staged a surprising coup within the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), causing a vertical split, and he allied himself with the Shiv Sena-BJP coalition in power in Maharashtra to take over as deputy chief minister. There are now eight additional party leaders serving as ministers.
40 Shiv Sena MLAs were referred to as the original “gaddars” (traitors) in a tweet by Thackeray, who wrote that they “were sitting there today watching nine others take oath, but none could be ministers again, were dreaming desperately of a cabinet berth.” “The failed Maharashtra double engine government now has a third wheel,” Thackeray declared.
He asserted that the development shows Eknath Shinde, the chief minister, to be just as incapable as before. “The original gaddaars backstabbed us on the pretext that NCP leaders and ministers from their districts didn’t let them work,” the statement read.
Today’s politics make it quite evident that the conflict will pit avarice against morality. Those who have gone, have simply gone for selfish reasons, and we will fight for selfless and principled politics!” said Thackeray.
Previously, the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in Maharashtra consisted of the NCP, Shiv Sena, and the Congress. However, the revolt of Eknath Shinde and 39 MLAs caused the Uddhav Thackeray-led dispensation to fall in June 2022.
