Fadnavis will decide next CM, says BJP MLA Parinay Fuke, as Shinde Sena leaders push Shinde's name

Shinde Sena leaders have openly spoken of making Eknath Shinde chief minister next time. MLA Kishor Darade, Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik and Water Supply Minister Gulabrao Patil have made such statements. At yesterday's Dussehra rally too, in Eknath Shinde's presence, leaders said Shinde would be made chief minister. Discussion of all kinds has since intensified in the state.

BJP MLA Parinay Fuke has reacted to this discussion. Speaking to the media, he gave his views on the chief minister's post. Fuke said everyone wants their own leader to become chief minister and there is nothing wrong in that. According to him, who becomes the next chief minister will be decided by Devendra Fadnavis alone.

Fuke described Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis as a "development man". He said Fadnavis has done remarkable work in every field, and for this reason the next election will be fought under Fadnavis's leadership. He also claimed that the BJP-led alliance would cross 250 seats. Fuke repeated that Fadnavis would decide at that time who becomes chief minister.

On the issue of regime change, Fuke sharply criticised Uddhav Thackeray. In his words, Thackeray has started daydreaming. According to Fuke, Thackeray says he works under Deepak's leadership, and nobody's condition can be worse than that. Fuke stressed that what happened in Bangladesh and Nepal will never happen in India, because India has Babasaheb Ambedkar's Constitution.

Fuke also attacked Thackeray over the attack by the Bishnoi gang. He said Thackeray should say what happened to Sachin Waze. According to Fuke, during the Thackeray government, police officer Waze planted a bomb outside a businessman's house. Fuke also said Thackeray is frustrated because he fears his son will go to jail in the Disha Salian case. Fuke further claimed that Thackeray cannot bring any party to power anywhere.
