After the Maharashtra Assembly elections, the power struggle in the state politics was in full swing. Everyone was curious to know about the sudden political developments that occurred during the time in the state.
Maharashtra Ex-Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has made a big revelations regarding what happened after Maharashtra Assembly elections 2019. He said there was political upheavals in the state last November and many of my friends became my enemies and joined enemy groups and taught us a huge lesson.
The BJP lost its oldest ally Shiv Sena who walked out of the Modi government at the Centre. The decision of the Maharashtra party to snap ties came following years of unease in the alliance and reached a flash point after the recent assembly election results, with the Sena accusing the BJP of breaking "promise" of equal division of power in the state.
Fadnavis said that he was never informed about the equal division of the power in the state by the senior leaders. The ex CM said that BJP had never agreed to share the post of chief minister, as claimed by Sena president Uddhav Thackeray.
He said that the issue would have been resolved but Uddhav Thackeray refrained from talking and did not answer the phone which actually did hurt me.
He further said that, I am soon going to write a book on the political developments during the Maharashtra Assembly elections 2019. I have the whole chronology stored in my mind, when we realized that Shiv Sena won't come with us and we were thinking about the other available options we had.
We had got an offer from the NCP directly, Ajit Pawar is the leader of Parliamentary board of NCP and no decision of NCP is taken without Sharad Pawar's assent. NCP chief Sharad Pawar gave his consent to party leader Ajit Pawar and was part of the discussion leading to the formation of a BJP-led government in Maharashtra.
After that the NCP chief changed it's role. If the Supreme Court verdict had not gone against us, our government would have survived 100 per cent.
