There is another case of cold war between Eknath Shinde and Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis. Recently, the Home Department reviewed the security given to all MLAs and important leaders in the state. This review was done to check if any changes were needed in their security. The issue has created tension between the two leaders, as decisions about security are important in politics. Some leaders may get more security, while others may get less. This has led to political discussions and speculations. The conflict between Shinde and Fadnavis seems to be growing with such incidents.
Security of 20 Shinde Faction MLAs Reduced
The security of 20 MLAs from the Shinde faction has been reduced. In a recent review, the Home Department decided to lower security for MLAs and leaders who no longer face serious threats. This decision has caused concern among Shinde faction MLAs, as they are the most affected by the security cut. After rebelling against Uddhav Thackeray, 40 MLAs and 12 MPs from the Shinde faction were given security. Some of them were even provided with Y-category security. However, after a security review, the government has now decided to reduce protection for those MLAs and former MPs who face fewer threats compared to earlier. This move has led to political discussions, as security is an important matter in state politics.
BJP and NCP Leaders
Some of the MLAs from the Shinde faction are unhappy with the Home Department’s decision and have informed Eknath Shinde about it. However, the security reduction is not limited to the Shinde faction alone. Several senior leaders and MLAs from BJP and NCP have also had their security decreased. The decision has sparked debate, as leaders often see security as a sign of their political importance. While the government claims the review was based on genuine threat assessments, affected leaders view it as a political move. The tension between political groups may increase due to this decision.
