Raj Thackeray praises Fadnavis for accepting Deputy role in Maha govt, alerts new CM #IndiaNEWS #India
Mumbai: Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray has extended his best wishes to BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis for being sworn in as the deputy chief minister of the state, further praising him for accepting the junior slot in the government following the order of the party high command despite him being a two-time chief minister.
Notably, Fadnavis had initially denied being a part of the new government and had said that he would support the government from outside. However, on the word of the party high command, he accepted to join the government as a deputy.
Thackeray denied calling it a demotion of Fadnavis stating that it has been done to with an aim to meet a target.
Taking to Twitter, the MNS chief tweeted, I wont say anything about you being appointed the deputy chief minister as a promotion or demotion, I would only say this that when a target is to be aimed, the rope of the bow is pulled back with the arrow to hit the target. And this is not considered a demotion. Thackeray also extended best wishes to Eknath Shinde for being sworn in as the Chief Minister and also cautioned him asking him to take measured steps.
My heartfelt congratulations to you on being sworn in as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. It is indeed a moment of happiness for us. Providence has given you this opportunity. I hope you will prove it with your confidence. Be alert. Take measured steps, he tweeted.
He also had taken a veiled jibe at Uddhav Thackeray during the Maharashtra crisis saying that When anyone misunderstands good fortune as ones personal accomplishment, therein begins the journey of ones decline.
Though Raj Thackeray has not named Uddhav, however, the timing of the tweet gave an indication of the reference to his brother.
Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray on Friday removed Eknath Shinde who revolted against him and succeeded him as the new Maharashtra Chief Minister from the post of Shiv Sena leader.
Shinde has been removed for indulging in anti-party activities, said a Shiv Sena statement.
The political crisis in Maharashtra was created by a revolt in Shiv Sena led by Shinde who stayed in Guwahati with other MLAs supporting him. Uddhav Thackeray resigned on Wednesday.
Earlier on Friday, former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray lashed out at the BJP for giving the Chief Ministerial slot to Eknath Shinde, a rebel Shiv Sena leader, and said that had the former ally partner agreed to this earlier, there would have been no Maha Vikas Aghadi in the state.
The Shiv Sena and BJP had parted ways after the 2019 Assembly elections in the state after the former demanded 2. 5 years of Chief Ministership each for both the parties during the term of five years, which the latter had not agreed to.
