Mumbai: After the new cabinet expansion of Maharashtra, a controversy of displeasure has arisen between the ministers of BJP-Shiv Sena faction and Nationalist Congress (Ajit Pawar faction) in the ruling Mahayuti over the distribution of the guardian minister’s post. Nationalist Congress ministers have been given districts hundreds of kilometers away from their home district, while BJP and Shiv Sena ministers have been given districts near them.

Nationalist ministers given responsibility of ‘distant’ districts

Ministers of Ajit Pawar faction have been given the responsibility of the guardian minister’s post of districts 400-650 kilometers away from their home district. Hasan Mushrif of Kolhapur has been given Washim, Babasaheb Patil of Latur has been given Gondia, Makarand Patil of Satara has been given Buldhana, and Narhari Jhirwal of Nashik has been given far-flung responsibilities like Hingoli.

There is an atmosphere of displeasure among the ministers of Nationalist Congress due to this distribution. Party’s state president Sunil Tatkare has been accused by other party ministers of giving preference to his daughter Aditi Tatkare. Aditi Tatkare was given the post of guardian minister of Raigad district, but this also proved controversial and was put on hold.

Home districts gifted to BJP-Shiv Sena ministers

At the same time, BJP and Shiv Sena ministers have been given guardian minister posts in their home districts or nearby districts. Shiv Sena Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has been given Thane, Gulabrao Patil has been given Jalgaon, Sanjay Rathod has been given Yavatmal, and Uday Samant has been given nearby districts like Ratnagiri. BJP ministers have also been given their home districts like Nagpur to Chandrashekhar Bawankule, Dhule to Jaykumar Rawal, and Sindhudurg to Nitesh Rane.

Criticism and displeasure with Nationalist ministers

The opposition has alleged that BJP-Shiv Sena has given preference to their party ministers and given second place to Nationalist ministers. It is being said that the Nationalist ministers have been sent away from their administrative areas, whereas the guardian ministers living in the home district can work more effectively, as claimed by Manikrao Kokate.

Possibility of postponement and new controversy

After the controversy over the post of guardian minister of Raigad and Nashik districts, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has put a stay on it. This can further increase the dispute of resentment between Shiv Sena and Nationalist.

Political impact in the future

The tension within the Mahayuti and the resentment within the Nationalist Congress has become clear regarding the distribution of the guardian minister post. The effect of these events can be seen in the upcoming local elections. Political analysts believe that the internal differences of the Mahayuti can prove to be a political weapon for the opposition.
