Reports of resentment are common in the Mahayuti government of Maharashtra. Meanwhile, a cabinet meeting is going to be held today (Tuesday, August 12). Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena President Eknath Shinde will not be present in this meeting personally. Shinde is currently in Srinagar. At the same time, Shinde faction minister Bharat Gogawale will also not be present in today’s meeting.

There is talk of giving him the post of patron minister of the district after the flag hoisting ceremony was given to Aditi Tatkare on August 15 in Raigad district. There is speculation that this is why Bharat Gogawale has gone to Delhi after getting angry.

Aditi Tatkare is the leader of Ajit Pawar faction. She is the daughter of senior NCP leader Sunil Tatkare. In the Devendra Fadnavis government, she is handling the work of Women and Child Development Minister.

On Sunday (June 29), during the cabinet meeting, Gogawale, who was sitting next to Nitesh Rane, regretted the comment and claimed that he was only speaking in the flow. Sources said that Nitesh has also ignored the comments made about Narayan Rane.

‘Not a commotion, not Shiv Sainik’
Let me tell you that while addressing the people present at an event in Sindhudurg on Saturday, Gogawale said, “Today we have got strength in the form of Nilesh Rane. Our (Shiv Sena’s Sawantwadi MLA Deepak) Kesarkar Saheb does not get into fighting.

The Shiv Sena leader claimed, “At one time in Maharashtra, whether it is Narayan Rane or many other leaders. Narayan Rane has not reached so easy at the level where he is today. He faced the cases (reference to criminal cases against Rane), created a ruckus, went to jail, fought, and joined the murders.”

Police should inquire- Aditya Thackeray
At the same time, this statement of Bharat Gogawale rose the political mercury of Maharashtra. Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aditya Thackeray demanded that the police should interrogate Narayan Rane and Gogawale to get information about murder and other cases.
