After the Congress’ claims that Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde would soon be replaced, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Sena (UBT) has said that a change in the CM’s post was certain with Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday stating that the BJP would use the rebel NCP leader to topple Mr. Shinde.
“Ajit Pawar is the ‘woodpecker’ that will make a hole in CM Eknath Shinde’s chair,” Mr. Raut wrote in his column in the Sena (UBT’s) mouthpiece Saamana.
Mr. Raut claimed that a BJP delegation, which believed that making Mr. Shinde the CM had proved detrimental for the party’s fortunes in Maharashtra, had already met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi.
