Chandrapur: Vijay Waddetiwar, a prominent leader of the opposition party Congress, has aimed his criticisms at the ruling coalition government. He has alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has plans to oust Chief Minister Eknath Shinde before the end of September. Waddetiwar made these statements through various media outlets in Chandrapur.
In what seems like a political maneuver ahead of the state elections, Waddetiwar asserted that Eknath Shinde, the current Chief Minister, might be removed from his position by the BJP. Waddetiwar even drew an analogy, comparing Shinde’s alleged vulnerability to a sleeping person being dispossessed of their bed while dreaming. These claims were presented as part of Waddetiwar’s narrative to criticize the ruling party’s internal dynamics.
Waddetiwar’s statements come in the midst of a larger power struggle between the Congress and the BJP in the lead-up to the state elections. With the Deputy Chief Minister of the Nationalist Congress Party, Ajit Pawar, reportedly aiming for the Chief Ministerial position with BJP’s backing, the political scenario has grown increasingly tense.
However, these recent developments have not been without their impact on the internal dynamics of the BJP. Discontent and uncertainty within Shinde’s own party faction have emerged. This power struggle has taken a toll on Shinde’s ministers, who have reportedly grown unsettled amidst the ongoing political maneuvering. It is evident that Shinde’s sleep has been disrupted amid these tumultuous circumstances.
While Waddetiwar’s claims remain to be substantiated, they have undoubtedly added fuel to the political fire that has been burning as the state elections draw nearer. As the battle for leadership unfolds, all eyes are on the evolving narrative within the BJP and the Congress camp, with September’s end anticipated to bring further clarity to the political landscape.
