CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: In a potential political shake-up, Shiv Sena is reportedly lobbying for Shrikant Shinde, son of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, to be appointed as the Deputy Chief Minister. Shrikant Shinde, currently an MP from Kalyan, has steadily risen within the party ranks, showcasing strong leadership and political acumen. This move is seen as an attempt to consolidate the party’s hold in Maharashtra and ensure generational continuity in leadership.
Sources suggest that this proposal is being actively discussed among Shiv Sena leaders and allies, with the intention of strengthening the Shinde camp’s position within the state government. If this materializes, it could signify a significant shift in the state’s political dynamics, as Shrikant Shinde would become one of the youngest leaders to assume such a prominent role.
This development comes amidst ongoing political challenges in Maharashtra, where alliances and power-sharing agreements play a crucial role in governance. The opposition has raised concerns over potential nepotism, while party loyalists argue that Shrikant’s leadership skills and grassroots connections make him a deserving candidate.
The decision is yet to be finalized, but the possibility of Shrikant Shinde stepping into a higher leadership role has stirred excitement and debate within Maharashtra’s political landscape.
