CM Tenure Promise in 2019, Uddhav Is Lying, Claims Maharashtra BJP Chief Bawankule
Chandrashekhar Bawankule, the president of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Maharashtra, charged Uddhav Thackeray with “lying” over his claims that the chief ministerial position would be shared equally following the 2019 Assembly elections and his pledge to elect an ordinary Shiv Sainik as the state’s chief executive.
During his two-day journey of Vidarbha, Thackeray was addressing at a rally at Digras, Yavatmal district.
The chief minister’s position will be shared (undivided) equally with the Shiv Sena, according to Thackeray, who claimed Union Home Minister Amit Shah had promised him this before of the 2019 Assembly elections.
In October 2019, according to Thackeray, the meeting took place at Matoshree, his home in Bandra. On October 13 of that year, elections were held in Maharashtra.
But after the 2019 assembly elections, Shah broke his commitment, which prompted Thackeray to team up with the NCP and the Congress. He said that he would choose a typical Sainik as chief minister if his party was given the opportunity to enter government once again.
The people of Maharashtra have witnessed how you lied when you became chief minister and appointed your son to the cabinet in the name of appointing a Shiv Sena member as the state’s chief executive, Bawankule retaliated. In 2019, Thackeray fought with us in the Assembly elections before betraying us.
Regarding the BJP’s pledge to split the chief ministerial post, Bawankule said that Thackeray’s disposition is one of propagating falsehoods.
Why did Thackeray not oppose to statements made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi or Union Home Minister Amit Shah that Devendra Fadnavis will succeed him as Maharashtra’s next chief minister, if a pledge had been made to share the position for two and a half years? he questioned.
The BJP state unit head said that Thackeray is now attempting to sell phony pledges to the people of Maharashtra after his treachery caused the fall of his administration (in June of last year).
