Maharashtra’s Caretaker Chief Minister Eknath Shinde Ill with Fever as Government Formation Talks Continue
Eknath Shinde, the Caretaker Chief Minister of Maharashtra, has been sick with a fever and throat infection for two days. His family doctor said he is now recovering at his home in Satara district, where a team of 3-4 doctors is taking care of him.
Shinde has been in the news a lot recently because the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies won a big victory in the Maharashtra Assembly elections. This has made people curious about who the next chief minister will be. Earlier this week, Shinde said he would support whatever decision Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP leadership make about the new leader. This statement made Devendra Fadnavis a strong candidate for the position.
As for the upcoming government, BJP state president Chandrashekhar Bawankule announced that the swearing-in ceremony of the new government will happen on December 5 at 5 PM in Azad Maidan, Mumbai. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to attend.
Sanjay Shirsat, a Shiv Sena leader, mentioned that Shinde is likely to make an important decision by Sunday evening regarding the allocation of important jobs to his allies. Shirsat believes Shinde often goes to his village when he needs to think things over, and he expects a big announcement soon.
Ajit Pawar, the leader of the NCP, stated that the next chief minister will come from the BJP, with two deputy chief ministers from other coalition partners. The BJP received the most seats in the election, winning 132 out of 288 Assembly seats, while Shinde’s Shiv Sena and Pawar’s NCP won 57 and 41 seats, respectively. The voting for these elections took place on November 20, and the results were announced on November 23.
