Mumbai, November 28 (IANS). Veteran Bharatiya Janata Party leader and former Maharashtra cabinet minister Sudhir Mungtiwar spoke to IANS on Thursday. He said that in order to make the swearing-in ceremony grand, the announcement of the name of the Chief Minister is being delayed.
Regarding the delay in forming the government after winning the assembly elections in Maharashtra, he said that there is no reason for it. There was a delay of 15 days in 2004, 14 days in 2009 and 11 days in 2014 in government formation. In such a situation, it is not appropriate to call it a delay of five days. If there had been 20 days, things would have been different. There is no other reason for the delay except to make the swearing-in ceremony grand. The oath of office of Chief Minister should be taken this week.
On the statement of Maharashtra Congress State President Nana Patole that BJP has sidelined Eknath Shinde after getting benefits, the BJP leader said that Congress has suffered such a big defeat under the chairmanship of Patole. Despite this, instead of speaking about the development, progress and progress of the state, he is talking like this. In such a situation, their mentality is visible that in the coming days, Congress will face an even bigger defeat.
In Maharashtra, slogans like “If we divide, we will be cut” and “If we remain united, we will be safe” were raised. At the same time, on the atrocities on Hindus in neighboring country Bangladesh and the incident at ISKCON temple, the BJP leader said, “Hindus should be united in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and the whole world.”
The sentiment of Hindus has been Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam and live and let live. In such a situation, it is a matter of Hindus being united and the whole world being united. If anyone talks about giving justice to all castes and religions, then it is Hindu culture.
Voting for 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra took place in a single phase on November 20. Its results came on November 23, in which the ruling Mahayuti won 234 seats. Now efforts are on to make the Chief Minister in the state.
