Shinde-Ajit cold war
Deputy CM Ajit Pawar's meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi has highlighted the ongoing power struggle between him and CM Eknath Shinde in the ruling alliance. Pawar is reportedly unhappy with Shinde's handling of things and has expressed his dissatisfaction to the BJP. The tension between the two has also been evident in recent events, such as the Maratha reservation issue. It remains to be seen if Pawar's meeting with Shah will change the dynamics or escalate the conflict further. Additionally, an ego clash is emerging between Sena veterans Gajanan Kirtikar and Ramdas Kadam, and the Pandharpur temple trust is in a dilemma over which deputy CM to invite for a ritual.
