Battle for Guardian Minister post

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar

The state cabinet swearing-in ceremony took place in Nagpur on Sunday. Now, a competition is expected for the Guardian Minister position in the district. BJP, Shinde Sena, and NCP Ajit Pawar faction ministers are all claiming the post for their respective parties. The decision depends on which alliance secures the position. Speculation suggests that ministers from other districts may be assigned the Guardian Minister role, but BJP and Shinde Sena are both asserting their claims.

Guardian Minister will Be Ours...

Shinde Sena has held the Guardian Minister post for the past two and a half years. MP Sandipan Bhumre was the Guardian Minister, followed by MLA Abdul Sattar for four months before the assembly elections. Shinde Sena continues to claim the position. However, if the cabinet distribution changes, speculation suggests that BJP may take the post. Both factions are now asserting, "The Guardian Minister post will be ours."
