New Delhi [India], December 5 : Shiv Sena UBT MP Priyanka Chaturvedi on Thursday took a dig at the Mahayuti alliance, ahead of the swearing-in ceremony of Maharashtra CM-designate Devendra Fadnavis and said that it took 10 days for Mahayuti to decide the CM face, considering this, it is hoped that people of Maharashtra do not suffer because of the differences between the three parties (BJP-Shivsena-NCP).
Furthermore, she accused BJP of backstabbing its political allies, saying that they use and throw as per their convenience.
"I wish the Chief Minister of Maharashtra all the best. I hope he lives up to all the commitments that he has made to the people of Maharashtra. It took the government over 10 days, to decide the CM face... Considering there are so many differences among the three, I hope that the people of Maharashtra do not suffer because of the differences that we see between the three parties. BJP's strategy has been to backstab its political allies whether it's Shiromani Akali Dal, Shiv Sena... They (BJP) use and throw as per their convenience..." Chaturvedi told ANI.
Congress MLA amd Maharashtra state in-charge Ramesh Chennithala claimed that the Yuti government is fooling the popele.
"Mahayuti is fooling the people of Maharashtra. Even after 11 days, they have not been able to form the cabinet.... Till now they have not decided about the departments of the ministers and deputy chief ministers. This is definitely a joke on the people of Maharashtra. No one is celebrating the victory of BJP and Mahayuti in Maharashtra because people do not want such a government. And there are a lot of discrepancies in this election. We have already submitted to the Election Commission.... I think this government has failed to fulfil its promises and soon you will also understand this," he said.
Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya congratulated Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar for their victory in the Maharashtra Assembly elections.
"Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh share a very special relationship as many people from UP are staying in Maharashtra. The people of UP are very happy with the results of the Maharashtra Assembly elections and the formation of the Mahayuti government," Maurya said.
