3 MLAs became ministers in Eknath Shinde cabinet
Due to non-expansion of the cabinet in maharashtra, the political deadlock is increasing within the shiv sena itself.
Amidst reports of Ajit Pawar's displeasure, Bharat Gogavale, a strong leader of the Eknath Shinde faction, has made
a big disclosure. Gogovle told his workers in Raigarh that 3 shiv sena people have become ministers in the
maharashtra government by blackmail. Gogavale has also told the workers about the closed room talks at the time of
government formation.
However, Gogavale has kept silence on the question of the names of the people who became ministers in the
government by blackmailing them. shiv sena has 9 mla ministers in the maharashtra government. After
Gogavale's statement, the question has started to arise that who are those 3 ministers, who got the chair through
blackmail?
Talk about the first closed room, which Gogavale has revealed
According to Gogavale, after the fall of the government in maharashtra, Eknath Shinde called a meeting of all the
MLAs regarding the names of the ministers. My name was also there in the list prepared after this meeting.
However, later my name was struck off. He further said- Shinde adopted the method of meeting the MLAs one by
one after the public meeting. When my turn came, the chief minister narrated three anecdotes to me and assured to
give me the ministerial post later. According to Gogavale, 3 anecdotes are as follows.
1. A shiv sena mla said that if I am not made a minister, my entire family will commit suicide. We will have no
reason left to live. According to Gogavale, Shinde's tension increased after hearing the MLA's statement.
2. A shiv sena mla said that if I am not made a minister, narayan rane and his sons in the home district will end
my politics. Narayan Rane's son is the mla from Kankevli seat in Sindhudurg district.
3. Gogowale said that in a closed room, a senior shiv sena mla told Shinde – If you do not make me a minister, I
will withdraw my support and go to Uddhav. I will topple your government too.
