Why is Eknath Shinde important for BJP?
The maharashtra results may have confirmed that Shinde Sena is the real shiv sena, but bjp is compelled to keep Shinde with it to keep a check on the uddhav faction. Because if Shinde does not become the cm, the uddhav faction will get a chance to directly compete with Fadnavis. bjp will be accused of using the name and symbol of shiv sena to come to power. On the basis of this, the feelings of Marathi Manus can be provoked and it can be given the form of a fight between bjp and Maharashtra.
Question of Marathi identity
To strengthen Marathi identity, only the data-face of Eknath Shinde will give strength. This will show the generosity of bjp and the respect for Marathi pride. Along with this, BJP's image will be strengthened among Marathi Manus.
Battle for control over BMC
BMC, one of the richest municipal corporations of the country, has been controlled by the undivided shiv sena and now the shiv sena uddhav faction for the last 25 years. This time the challenge before bjp will be to break the fort of uddhav faction. To snatch BMC from uddhav Sena, bjp will need the strong shoulders of Shinde, who can play an important role in keeping the maratha vote bank together. That is why it is important for Shinde to remain in BJP's camp.
Opposition to attack
One thing is also that if bjp does not make Shinde the cm or does not take his side, then the opposition will get a big weapon to surround it... The opposition will accuse that in the time of need, shiv sena was broken by using Shinde as a pawn... Now when the work was done, Shinde was left alone... This fight can also become a symbol of Marathi identity... because right now the leaders of shiv sena uddhav faction are alleging that bjp, Shinde and ncp can break Ajit faction anytime...However, despite all these factors, politics is a game of possibilities. Anything can happen here anytime. The most hope is that bjp will be successful in convincing Shinde and fadnavis will become the chief minister of Mahayuti by consensus.
