Maharashtra CM Shinde & several senior BJP leaders visited Raj Thackeray last week. There's speculation of an alliance, or at least a tacit understanding with MNS ahead of civic polls.
Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari said Friday “If Gujaratis and Rajasthanis are removed from Maharashtra... Mumbai would not be able to remain the financial capital of the country.”
CM Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis have had 3 cabinet meetings so far. Leaders & civil servants say the lack of other ministers has not stopped work.
Devendra Fadnavis had initially announced Thursday that we would not be part of the Eknath Shinde govt in Maharashtra, but he subsequently took oath as deputy CM.
The BJP’s move to place Eknath Shinde in the CM’s chair eclipses political veteran Sharad Pawar as the kingmaker of Maharashtra. The party has paid NCP chief back in his own coin.
31 months after the BJP leader resigned as CM ahead of a floor test, paving way for Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA to form govt, life has come full circle for Fadnavis with Thackeray's resignation.
Only a die-hard optimist will believe Uddhav Thackeray could survive this storm. But rebel Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde isn’t getting an easy pass either.
BJP believes it’s just one step away from forming the government in Maharashtra, but is playing it safe for now — waiting for MVA government to collapse on its own.
BJP received 134 votes for its 5 candidates in Monday's vidhan sabha polls & now with at least one-and-a-half dozen Sena MLAs rebelling, odds seem to be stacked against Maha Vikas Aghadi govt.

As the BJP heads for a likely third successive term in power, it's fascinating to debate how true it looks to the original proposition: a party with a difference.
