HYDERABAD: BJP has said that the party forged an alliance with Eknath Shinde in Maharashtra and accepted him as chief minister at the cost of Devendra Fadnavis’s claim for the top job because of its desire to bring down the “unprincipled and opportunistic” MVA coalition which was engaged in massive corruption.
“For the development of Maharashtra and the welfare of the people of the state, the BJP has supported Eknath Shinde as CM and Devendra Nath Fadnavis has taken oath as deputy CM from BJP. Due to the opportunistic and unprincipled alliance of MVA in the state, the development of Maharashtra was stopped and the people were facing massive corruption and misgovernance,” the party has maintained in its resolution, which was moved by home minister Amit Shah and seconded by Karnataka CM Basavraj Bommai and his Assam counterpart Himanta Biswa Sarma.
