Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde hinted at an event that the state assembly polls will be held in the month of November. While addressing the gathering, Shinde said the elections “will take place in the next two months.”
The chief minister urged people to back Shiv Sena MLA Dilip Lande from Chandivali assembly constituency. Sources in the Election Commission said the poll panel will hold the election in the state along with Jharkhand once the polls of Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir get completed. The tenure of Maharashtra assembly will expire on November 26.
On the other hand, the political parties have geared up for the assembly polls and started claiming their victory. The opposition claimed that several BJP leaders are ken to join them.
Former Home Minister of Maharashtra and NCP-SCP leader, Anil Deshmukh claimed that some senior BJP leaders are in contact with his party and are looking to join their side as they are dissatisfied with the government’s handling of issues in the state.
Deshmukh told ANI that the Mahayuti Alliance is not as strong as it should be.
“Some senior BJP leaders are looking to join our side because they are dissatisfied with the government’s handling of issues like unemployment, inflation, and farmers’ distress in Maharashtra.
The alliance between Ajit Pawar, Eknath Shinde, and the BJP is not as strong as it should be, and if this continues, the BJP might end up contesting the elections separately from NCP and Shiv Sena,” he said.
Further, expressing concern and targeting Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis over the law and order situation, Anil Deshmukh said that instead of focusing on this, the latter indulged in breaking opposition parties.
