The suspense over Maharashtra’s Chief Minister continues. While it is clear that the BJP will take the position, the name of the new CM is yet to be announced. The party has remained silent on the matter, neither appointing an observer nor scheduling the legislative party meeting. This delay has fueled speculations in political circles.
Devendra Fadnavis a Strong Contender
On Wednesday night (27th November), a two-hour meeting took place at Home Minister Amit Shah’s residence. Devendra Fadnavis was the only representative from Maharashtra BJP in the meeting. This has strengthened the belief that he is the leading candidate for the CM post. However, some reports suggest that the BJP may be considering other options, raising questions about a potential surprise decision.
Will BJP Take an Unexpected Decision?
It has been a week since the Maharashtra election results were announced, yet the BJP has not held a legislative party meeting or finalized an observer. This delay has led to speculation that the party might surprise everyone with its choice for the CM, as it has done in the past.
BJP’s History of Surprises
The BJP is known for its unexpected decisions. For example, after the Madhya Pradesh elections, the party shocked everyone by choosing Mohan Yadav as CM instead of Shivraj Singh Chouhan. Similarly, in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, BJP delayed its decisions and later surprised everyone. This history adds weight to the possibility that a similar scenario could unfold in Maharashtra.
Swearing-In on December 5?
The date for the swearing-in ceremony in Maharashtra has been shifted multiple times. According to sources, it is now scheduled for December 5. This has further fueled speculations about whether BJP will stick to a conventional decision or take an unconventional route this time.
