Following Eknath Shinde’s intra-party rebellion which has plunged the Shiv Sena in turmoil, speculation is rife about a similar churn within the Congress in Maharashtra.
Former Congress Minister Aslam Shaikh’s meeting with Deputy Chief Minister and State BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis at the latter’s ‘Sagar’ bungalow in Mumbai late on Sunday has raised political eyebrows. This was followed by rumours of senior Congressman and former Chief Minister Ashok Chavan exiting his party in the near future.
On Sunday night, Mr. Shaikh, the former Guardian Minister of Mumbai, met Mr. Fadnavis and was accompanied by BJP leader Mohit Bharatiya.
