The Mahayuti government will be installed in Maharashtra, following the resignation of outgoing Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The 132-strong BJP legislative party’s leader, Shinde, would have been a moral and electoral perverse choice to lead the government, as expressed by voters through the ballot box.
Devendra Fadnavis, the Chief Minister-elect, must persuade ministerial-aspirants from his own party to wait out in order to accommodate a disproportionate number of ministers from the Shiv Sena and the NCP. Managing a coalition often requires concessions from the larger constituent. The delay in swearing in the new government raises concerns about the allocation of portfolios and the potential for petty disagreements among Mahayuti leaders to impede government functioning. The Mahayuti faces the challenge of restoring Maharashtra’s reputation for good administrative management, which has suffered significantly.
Mumbai, the nation’s commercial capital, has lost its lustre due to widespread corruption, resulting in a breakdown of essential services such as roads, water, electricity, and garbage collection. The Fadnavis government’s first major challenge will be to schedule the much-delayed election for the Brhanmumbai Municipal Corporation. The MVA partners’ decision to fight together or separate will be determined after the BMC poll is notified. However, given the post-defeat recriminations between the Shiv Sena (UBT) and the Congress party, it is not surprising if the MVA crumbles on the eve of the civic poll. The state government should improve infrastructure in and around the metropolis without burdening taxpayers.
Mahayuti’s commitment to increase the monthly cash payment to women from Rs 1,500 to Rs. 2,100 should concern Finance Minister Ajit Pawar. However, other claimants for assistance from the new government, such as soybean and cotton farmers, should not be overlooked. Interest payments on debt alone account for about 40% of the state’s revenue.
The new chief minister has a lot on his plate. With a smooth working relationship among the three constituents of the Mahayuti, Maharashtra can look forward to a brighter future, putting an end to bitter and often ugly exchanges between its leading politicians.
