Devendra Fadnavis-Led Maharashtra Cabinet Expansion Likely By December 11 Or 12
Mumbai: Shortly after being sworn in, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that his cabinet would be expanded before the winter session of the state legislature scheduled for December 16 in Nagpur. Naturally, this has resulted in intense lobbying for ministerial berths and portfolios.
The buzz is that the expansion may take place anytime around December 11 or 12, since the winter session is scheduled to begin on December 16. The most contentious issue would be the allocation of portfolios to the Shiv Sena. In an interview with electronic media, CM Fadnavis said that the possibility was that the departments held by Sena and NCP ministers in the previous government would remain with the respective parties.
According to sources, Shinde, who has been asking for home, may have to choose between revenue, water resources and the public works department (with charge of the MSRDC). He is also believed to be asking for the urban development department as well. However, the BJP wants to keep the department with the CM, since both home and urban development were with Devendra Fadnavis in the BJP-Shiv Sena government, from 2014 to 2019.
Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis On The Home Department
Speaking about the home department, the CM is reported to have said that since the home department in the Union government was with the BJP, it would be best to leave it with the BJP in Maharashtra, for better coordination. Meanwhile, the Ajit Pawar-led NCP will retain finance, in addition to the departments its ministers headed in the previous government. The state cabinet has a strength of 43 ministers, including the CM.
Sena Sulking Over The Report Card
Another contentious issue within the Mahayuti has been that of the report card sought by the central leadership of the BJP. All ministerial aspirants were asked to answer a 12-point questionnaire. As reported by this newspaper, there were questions on whether there were police cases against the aspirants, whether they had been booked for inflammatory speeches or comments, details of the court cases and their nature, their coordination with the Mahayuti partners and the local cadre and so on.
Resentment is brewing in the Sena and the NCP over the report card, with a feeling that the alliance partners should have the freedom to choose their ministers. The issue may snowball into controversy, say leaders from the respective parties.

Abu Asim Azmi expresses concern over incidents of hate speech-related crimes in Maharashtra, demands strict action in the House of Assembly

Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi said in the House that hate crimes have increased due to the government’s hate speech and provocative speeches. Action is necessary. The Supreme Court had also ordered action on hate speech in its guiding principles and directed the governments to take suo motu notice and register cases, but the government’s intention is not clear on this and due to this malice, no action is taken in hate speech cases. Therefore, action is needed. The government should take strict action in this matter. The hate agenda is going on in Maharashtra and the situation is deteriorating. Abu Asim Azmi said that the law and order situation in Maharashtra is bad, along with this, there has been a huge increase in minor crimes, in which the elderly are being targeted. Along with this, the conviction rate in criminal cases is low, that is, in most cases, guilt is not proven, which is very worrying. In such a situation, questions also arise about the investigation.

Black magic was performed at Ajit Pawar’s house, Rohit Pawar’s sensational summary, demand for investigation

Mumbai: Nationalist Congress Party leader and MLA Rohit Pawar has made a sensational statement after Ajit Pawar’s plane crash, making it clear that black magic was performed outside Ajit Pawar’s house. The reason for this black magic is not to control the party, because on February 16, a letter was sent to the Election Commission of India in which Praful Patel was appointed as the national president. It was signed by three officials, including Sunil Tatkare and Brijmohan Srivastava. He said that his aunt Sintra Pawar was also unaware of this. This is a very worrying matter. He said that a conspiracy to completely take over the party had already been hatched, so it is necessary to investigate whether Ajit Pawar’s death was an accident or murder. He said that Ashok Kharat used to perform black magic outside Ajit Pawar’s house. After this sensational statement, political turmoil has intensified once again. Addressing the press conference, Rohit Pawar made several sensational statements in which he referred to the letter of Praful Patel and Sunil Tatkare to the Election Commission to maintain dominance over the party, which he had submitted to the Election Commission 16 days after the accident. Rohit Pawar has also demanded an investigation in this matter. Rohit Pawar had earlier given the details of the FIR filed by Karnataka in the Ajit Pawar accident in the Assembly and said that the Karnataka Police has registered an FIR in this matter, while Ajit Pawar used to serve the people day and night in Pune. Will this FIR now be registered in Baramati and investigated? He said that the FIR in this matter has been transferred to Maharashtra and its investigation is now entrusted to the DGP. Will the DGP take this investigation forward?
