Maha: Sena leaders say Shinde to be CM soon & ‘Operation Tiger-4’ may net 14 Uddhav MLAs

Mumbai, Sep 29 (UNI) Leaders of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena have claimed that Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is likely to return as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, since Devendra Fadnavis will move to New Delhi shortly, in order to handle bigger responsibilities.
Shinde-led Shiv Sena Nandurbar MLA Chandrakant Raghuvanshi told media persons that if Eknath Shinde had not revolted against the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena, the BJP would never have come to power in Maharashtra and that it is Shinde who revived the BJP's political fortunes in the state.
“If Eknath Shinde had not revolted, BJP would not have come to power and (Raghuvanshi's political rival) Dr Vijaykumar Gavit would never have got a ministerial post. In fact, Eknath Shinde has revived the BJP. We hear that Devendra Fadnavis is going to the Centre. If Fadnavis goes to the Centre, Shinde will certainly be the front-runner to hold the reins of power in Maharashtra,” he said.
