  • However, what sets apart the oath ceremony for the cabinet expansion of CM Devendra Fadnavis in Nagpur on Sunday is the strategic two-and-a-half-year tenure formula introduced by Fadnavis. This approach offers several advantages for him as the Chief Minister and as a BJP leader.

The article from Moneycontrol discusses the recent political developments in Maharashtra where Devendra Fadnavis, a key BJP leader, has been sworn in as Deputy Chief Minister alongside Eknath Shinde, who has split from the Shiv Sena to form a new government. This move, described as a "unique formula," has immediate political benefits for BJP by destabilizing the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition, which includes Shiv Sena, NCP, and Congress. However, the article highlights potential long-term risks associated with this strategy. These include the possibility of further political instability, legal challenges regarding the legitimacy of the new government, and the potential backlash from public sentiment against such political maneuvering. Additionally, the sustainability of this government could be questioned, given the internal and external pressures, and the ethical implications of power acquisition through what some might see as undemocratic means. The article suggests that while BJP might enjoy short-term gains, the long-term political landscape could become more volatile and unpredictable.
