Political Drama Unfolds: Bhujbal's Omission from Maharashtra Cabinet Sparks Controversy

NCP MLA Jitendra Awhad claims the exclusion of leader Chhagan Bhujbal from the Maharashtra cabinet was meant to end his career. Bhujbal, a key OBC politician and former minister, is reportedly unhappy with this political development, despite his significant role in state politics.

If politics is an ever-turning wheel, then Maharashtra's political landscape is spinning faster than ever. NCP MLA Jitendra Awhad has asserted that Chhagan Bhujbal's exclusion from the Maharashtra cabinet was a strategic move to sideline the veteran politician. However, Awhad believes Bhujbal is not one to surrender easily.

In a candid discussion with the press, Awhad declared that justice was denied to Bhujbal, citing his age, temperament, and relentless spirit as reasons why he merited a cabinet position. He accused the Eknath Shinde-led government of engineering a Maratha-OBC divide, implicating them further in Bhujbal's sidelining.

A former minister who joined Ajit Pawar's camp, Bhujbal was among ten ministers dropped during Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis's cabinet expansion. The decision left Bhujbal disappointed and he has since voiced his displeasure by skipping the winter session of the state legislature.
