In the midst of ongoing Lok Sabha elections in Maharashtra, opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) leaders have made revelations regarding the earlier political landscape, particularly concerning the appointment of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in 2019. Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Sanjay Raut has alleged that senior leaders from both the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had expressed reservations about Shinde’s potential as Chief Minister at the time. Raut claimed that when the undivided Shiv Sena, led by Uddhav Thackeray, entered an alliance with the Congress and the NCP, several prominent leaders from both parties opposed Shinde’s appointment as CM, with some reportedly stating their unwillingness to work under his leadership due to his perceived inexperience. Raut also asserted that even within the BJP, senior leaders such as Devendra Fadnavis, Girish Mahajan, and Sudhir Mungantiwar had conveyed their reluctance to see Shinde as Chief Minister. Meanwhile, in a separate interview, NCP chief Sharad Pawar has stated that his party would have faced a split in 2004 had Chhagan Bhujbal been chosen as Chief Minister over him. These revelations have added a layer of intrigue to the ongoing electoral campaign, with both the MVA and the ruling Mahayuti coalition seeking to sway voters ahead of the crucial final phase of the Lok Sabha polls on May 20th.

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar’s absence from the fifth phase of the Lok Sabha election campaign has sparked speculation of unrest within the party. Despite actively campaigning in earlier phases, Pawar has been conspicuously absent from rallies for his BJP and Shiv Sena allies, leading to rumors of dissatisfaction with the allocation of only four Lok Sabha seats to the NCP. The rumors were further fueled by reports of meetings between rebel NCP leader Sunil Tatkare and NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, despite denials from both parties. Senior NCP leaders Chhagan Bhujbal and Anil Deshmukh have expressed varying viewpoints, with Bhujbal hinting at sympathy for Pawar and Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, while Deshmukh ruled out reconciliation with rebel leaders. Political analyst Vivek Bhavsar suggests that the NCP’s absence from campaigning in key seats may indicate a shift in power dynamics within the party.
