New Delhi: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut Commenting on the Mahayut government’s decision to organize cabinet expansion in Nagpur instead of Mumbai, Saturday said sarcastically that they “should build a temple” EVM In front of RSS headquarters.
“First of all, the chief minister’s march will be held there (Nagpur). I think before taking out the chief minister’s march, they should take out the EVM’s march and in the first cabinet, they should make a decision on Build an EVM temple in front of the RSS headquarters,” he said when asked why the cabinet expansion was being carried out in Orange City and not Mumbai.
Criticizing the delay in forming the government despite having a majority, Rath said: “It has been a month since the new government was formed in the state but it is not clear who owns which ministry. Every day in every village in Maharashtra Murders and rapes are happening and the CM cannot answer this question.
Raut also expressed concern over the rise in crimes such as murder and rape in Maharashtra, accusing the chief minister of being unable to address these issues.
“Anarchy has spread in Maharashtra. This government is formed by EVMs. They have no brains but they have EVMs in their brains,” he said.
The much-anticipated cabinet expansion of the Devendra Fadnavis-led Mahayuthi government will be held on Sunday afternoon at Raj Bhavan in Nagpur, just across Maharashtra The day before the winter session of the state legislature begins.
The ceremony, scheduled to begin at 3 pm, is significant as it will be Nagpur’s first cabinet expansion since 1991, underscoring Vidarbha’s growing influence in Maharashtra’s political landscape . That year, Governor C Subramaniam administered oath to Chhagan Bhujbal and other ministers.
The cabinet expansion, finalized after three weeks of intense negotiations among Mahayut’s partners, reflects the challenges faced by the BJP in balancing power with its allies, the Shiv Sena and the National Congress Party. Although the BJP dominates the 288-member parliament with 132 seats, the party must still contend with competing interests among coalition partners eager to play a key role in the government.
