oi-Gaurav Sharma
Devendra
Fadnavis
is
poised
to
become
the
next
Chief
Minister
of
Maharashtra.
This
follows
the
BJP-led
Mahayuti’s
decisive
victory
in
the
state
elections,
which
were
initially
anticipated
to
be
a
close
contest
between
two
coalitions.
Caretaker
CM
Eknath
Shinde
announced
his
support
for
the
BJP’s
choice,
paving
the
way
for
Fadnavis’s
return.
An
old
video
of
Fadnavis
from
2019
has
resurfaced
online,
capturing
his
poetic
assertion
of
a
political
comeback.
In
a
special
assembly
session,
he
declared,
“Mera
Paani
utarata
dekh
mere
kinare
pe
ghar
mat
basa
lena,
mai
samandar
hoon,
lautkar
wapis
aaunga…” This
translates
to
“Don’t
build
a
house
on
my
shore
after
seeing
my
water
receding;
I
am
an
ocean,
I
will
return.”

Fadnavis
Political
Landscape
and
Support
The
BJP’s
central
leadership
has
reportedly
endorsed
Fadnavis
as
the
next
CM.
On
November
25,
a
senior
BJP
leader
informed
Shinde
over
the
phone
about
this
decision.
Consequently,
Eknath
Shinde
resigned
on
November
26,
clearing
the
path
for
Fadnavis’s
leadership.
तो पुन्हा येतोय
नवमहाराष्ट्र घडवण्याच्या निर्धाराने,
त्याच भूमिकेत, त्याच ठिकाणी!
गावांना जलयुक्त करण्यासाठी,
शहरांचा चेहरामोहरा बदलण्यासाठी,
दुष्काळमुक्त महाराष्ट्राचे स्वप्न साकारण्यासाठी,
तो पुन्हा येतोय!@Dev_Fadnavis#DevendraForCM #BJP#CM #MLA 1/2 pic.twitter.com/vSoDAemZLi

In
response
to
this
development,
Shiv
Sena
(Eknath
Shinde)
MP
Naresh
Mhaske
expressed
readiness
to
accept
Devendra
Fadnavis
as
Maharashtra’s
chief
minister
if
Mahayuti
decides
so.
He
remarked
that
their
party
differs
from
Uddhav
Thackeray’s
faction,
which
might
withdraw
if
not
given
the
chief
minister
post.
Historical
Context
and
Coalition
Dynamics
The
video
dates
back
to
when
BJP
and
undivided
Shiv
Sena
contested
Maharashtra
assembly
polls
together
in
2019.
They
secured
a
majority,
positioning
Fadnavis
for
another
term
as
CM.
However,
Shiv
Sena
later
allied
with
NCP
and
Congress
to
form
the
government
instead.
This
political
shift
led
to
Fadnavis
delivering
his
memorable
speech
in
the
assembly.
His
words
hinted
at
determination
and
resilience
amidst
changing
political
tides.
The
clip
has
gained
renewed
attention
as
he
prepares
for
another
tenure
as
chief
minister.
Fadnavis’s
anticipated
return
marks
a
significant
moment
in
Maharashtra
politics.
With
backing
from
both
Mahayuti
and
BJP
leadership,
his
leadership
seems
imminent.
The
unfolding
events
highlight
shifting
alliances
and
strategic
decisions
shaping
the
state’s
political
landscape.
