Maharashtra politics: Why Eknath Shinde is bargaining hard with the BJP

^{Published on 2024-12-04 23:30:42 - Brian Stokes, N@N}

The Shiv Sena chief is still insisting on the powerful home portfolio, in addition to at least 12 ministerial berths for the Sena

The article from MSN discusses the political maneuvering in Maharashtra, focusing on Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's negotiations with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Shinde, who split from the Shiv Sena to form a government with BJP support, is now bargaining hard for a better deal in the upcoming elections. His leverage comes from his faction's performance in recent polls, where they secured 10 out of 15 contested seats, outperforming BJP's expectations. This has led to tensions, as BJP initially wanted to contest more seats, but Shinde's success has given him the upper hand in seat-sharing discussions. The negotiations are crucial as they will determine the political landscape in Maharashtra, with Shinde aiming to secure his position and influence within the alliance. The article highlights the strategic importance of these talks for both parties, especially in the context of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, where seat distribution could significantly impact their political fortunes.
