  1. Eknath Shinde Withdraws from Maharashtra CM Race: Key Questions Unaddressed

In a big political development, caretaker Chief Minister of Maharashtra Eknath Shinde has withdrawn his claim for the Chief Ministerial post. On Tuesday, Shinde reportedly assured Prime Minister Narendra Modi that his Shiv Sena faction would not obstruct the government formation process. With Shinde stepping aside, the BJP, as the largest party in the Mahayuti alliance, now holds the reins in deciding the next CM.

Five critical questions linger:

1- Who will the BJP select as CM?

Though Devendra Fadnavis is the front-runner, as perceived, given his position in the BJP and RSS support, everyone expects a lesser-known candidate with lesser or no experience on the lines of other states like Punjab and Gujarat.

2- Will Eknath Shinde accept a Deputy CM role?

The proposed “One CM + Two Deputy CMs” model could see Shinde or his close allies occupy key positions. However, Shinde’s willingness to accept a demotion after serving as CM remains uncertain.

3- What has the BJP promised Shiv Sena in return?

Shinde’s withdrawal suggests potential gains for his party in terms of cabinet berths or influential portfolios.

4- How will cabinet seats be distributed?

The BJP is likely to corner the lion’s share of the seats, but the formula for seat sharing among Mahayuti allies is still awaited.

5- Who will be the Speaker?

Traditionally, the largest party in a coalition nominates the Speaker. However, exceptions have been made in past assemblies, leaving this question open for negotiation.
