Ratnagiri : When the Shinde Fadnavis government came to power, its effects started to be seen in Konkan as well. Only 3 MLAs from Konkan remained loyal to Thackeray. All other MLAs decided to support Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Uddhav Thackeray currently has the support of 15 Sena MLAs from across the state. Among them, 3 MLAs are from Konkan. Bhaskar Jadhav, Rajan Salvi and Vaibhav Naik are all close to ‘Matoshri’. But according to the news, one of these three MLAs is preparing to leave Thackeray’s support. Reliable sources have informed that ‘that’ MLA may join the Shinde group in the next 48 hours.
MLA Rajan Salvi is in favor of the refinery project in Konkan while MP Vinayak Raut has always been opposing the project. On this issue, the possibility of another senior Shiv Sena MLA from Konkan joining the Shinde group is now gaining momentum. If that happens, Uddhav Thackeray will face the biggest blow in Konkan.
There are reliable reports that a Shiv Sena MLA from Konkan from the Uddhav Thackeray group met a person close to Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in Mumbai today. Guhagar MLA Bhaskar Jadhav, Sindhudurg MLA Vaibhav Naik and Rajapur MLA Rajan Salvi are with Uddhav Thackeray in Ratnagiri district. So which MLA took this visit? There have been heated discussions about the reason for which it was taken.
Two days ago, Industries Minister Uday Samant said that the role of local MLAs is important regarding the refinery project. Also, if industry comes to Konkan, it will help to eliminate unemployment here, employment will be created. Therefore, we had made a stand that we would remove those who have misconceptions about this refinery. At this time, he had publicly said that he would meet MLA Rajan Salvi and discuss it soon. Of course, this meeting will be held on the issue of refinery, but if this meeting is held, there is a possibility that political issues will be discussed between the two leaders.
Eknath Shinde, one time closest ally of Uddhav Thackeray, in fact in whose hands the entire party was entrusted during his illness, took the position of going with the BJP by taking 40 MLAs and taking a stand against the party leadership. Their rebellion forced Uddhav Thackeray to resign as Chief Minister and the Mavia government collapsed in the state. After this, the government of Shinde Fadnavis was formed in the state. After the formation of the government, the tendency of office-bearers and workers to join the Shinde group increased. Each office bearer of the Thackeray group is entering the Shinde group. Now if another Sena MLA from Konkan leaves Thackeray’s side, it will be a big blow for him.
