What will happen if Maharashtra CM's face changes?
Reportedly after Mahayuti got a huge majority in maharashtra, now brainstorming is being done about the Chief Minister. If experts of the state's politics are to be believed, if Eknath Shinde becomes the chief minister again, then he can control uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena. If the opposite happens, that is, Eknath Shinde does not become cm and devendra fadnavis is made the chief minister, then uddhav Thackeray's army will get a chance to directly compete with Fadnavis. Along with this, bjp will again be accused of using the name and symbol of shiv sena to come to power. Every decision of the government can be turned into a fight between bjp and Maharashtra.
Perhaps experts believe that Eknath Shinde's data-face will strengthen Marathi identity. This will show BJP's generosity and respect for Marathi pride and will strengthen BJP's image among Marathi Manus as was seen during Eknath Shinde's tenure as Chief Minister. As chief minister, Eknath Shinde has developed an image of good governance. The welfare schemes launched by the government have had a great impact on the people of Maharashtra. Therefore, Shinde's continuation as cm will create an image of good governance for the Mahayuti and the impact of the schemes will be more among the public. The Mahayuti has benefited greatly from the support of maratha leaders of maharashtra and maratha voters.
Moreover in the upcoming local body elections, changing the CM's data-face will make the government's evaluation from a new perspective and the current image created by the current victory may change. But the trust built among the people due to Eknath Shinde becoming the cm will remain intact and the Mahayuti can benefit from it. Experts who understand maharashtra politics believe that in his two and a half years of tenure, chief minister Eknath Shinde has become a popular data-face in maharashtra and his leadership abilities are also being appreciated. The Mahayuti coalition government has run in a systematic manner under Shinde's leadership.
