Fadnavis Warns Mahayuti Leaders Against Infighting and Public Criticism
Maharashtra’s ruling Mahayuti alliance held its first coordination meeting.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis told alliance leaders to work together.
He warned them not to fight publicly or criticise one another’s parties.
The meeting included Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Sunetra Pawar.
Leaders also discussed disagreements about government funds and corporations.
District fund disputes may first be handled by divisional commissioners.
Bigger disagreements could be decided by the chief minister and both deputy chief ministers.
The alliance is considering dividing government corporations among its parties, but the final plan has not been approved.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis warned Mahayuti leaders to stop local-level infighting and maintain coordination.
The warning came at the alliance’s first Coordination Committee meeting, attended by Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde and Sunetra Pawar.
MLAs and MPs were told not to publicly criticise leaders or parties from other alliance partners.
District fund-allocation disputes may first go to divisional commissioners, then the committee and finally the three top leaders.
Government corporation allocations may be finalised within 15 days, with a tentative BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP formula of 48-29-23 percent.
