Eknath Shinde Health / Shinde's health deteriorated before oath taking, doctors advised him to take rest

Eknath Shinde Health: Maharashtra's acting Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's health has suddenly deteriorated. Due to fever and fatigue, doctors have advised him to rest. Shinde is currently in his hometown Satara. After returning from Delhi trip, he spent some time in Mumbai and then left for Satara without any prior information. Amid the news of his deteriorating health, speculation about his displeasure has also intensified in the political corridors.

Formation of new government still in limbo

More than a week has passed since the election results were declared in Maharashtra, but the new government has not been formed yet. An important meeting of the Mahayuti alliance was also not held. However, now this meeting is likely to be held in Mumbai on Sunday. Next week's dates are being said to be possible for the swearing-in of the new government.

Reports of Eknath Shinde's displeasure

According to sources, Shinde is dissatisfied with his role within the alliance. It is being told that Shinde wants to keep the charge of the Home Ministry along with the Deputy CM. But there is no consensus on this demand from the constituents of the Mahayuti, especially the BJP.

The stir increased after meeting Amit Shah

On Thursday night, Eknath Shinde met Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi. After the meeting, he told the media that the discussion on government formation was positive and further talks would be held in Mumbai on Friday. But the meeting of the Mahayuti leaders could not be held on Friday.

BJP sources say that no meeting of the Mahayuti was pre-scheduled. Shinde's colleague and Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar (NCP) also met Amit Shah.

Shinde's departure to Satara

After returning to Mumbai on Friday morning, Shinde left for his native village Dare in Satara district in the evening. Earlier, he met party leaders and MLAs at the Chief Minister's official residence 'Varsha' in South Mumbai.

Promise to respect the decision of the Prime Minister and Shah

However, Shinde has publicly stated on several occasions that he will respect the decision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah regarding the post of Chief Minister. But the current developments are indicating his displeasure, which has further complicated the political picture of Maharashtra.

Conclusion

Eknath Shinde's deteriorating health and departure to Satara have further heated up the political atmosphere of Maharashtra. The ongoing tussle over the power balance in the Mahayuti and speculation about Shinde's displeasure have caused a delay in the formation of the new government. Now all eyes are on the possible Mahayuti meeting and swearing-in date on Sunday, which can end this deadlock.
