We changed chairs after the election- Shinde
shiv sena Shinde chief Eknath Shinde said that after the grand victory of the Mahayuti in the state elections last year, the first proceedings of the house for the budget session will be of the new government. Shinde said, "All that has happened is that fadnavis and I have changed our chairs. Only Ajit Pawar's chair is the same." In fact, before the maharashtra assembly elections, Eknath Shinde was the chief minister of the state and fadnavis was posted as Deputy Chief Minister. ajit pawar retorted to this statement of Shinde and said, "If you could not save your chair, what can I do?" On this, all three started laughing loudly.
