Shinde vs Fadnavis a repeat of 2019's Uddhav vs Fadnavis? BJP pushes for CM post in Maharashtra

The BJP is moving decisively to reinstate Devendra Fadnavis as Maharashtra Chief Minister, despite opposition from ally Shiv Sena, which backs Eknath Shinde's continuation. The NCPs Ajit Pawar faction supports Fadnavis's return, and BJP plans to offer deputy CM posts to Shinde and Pawar to balance interests. Leadership talks have reached the national capital, with Fadnavis and Shinde set to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The move highlights BJPs numerical advantage and its strategy to consolidate power in the state.
