This is ANI so I hope this is not coming from bad sources, but if true,wow. Day 1 of taking charge. Just in case people thought BJP would not have enough power in the govt.

https://twitter.com/ANI/status/1542546197889810433
Maharashtra Government has directed the state's Advocate General that the metro car shed will be built in Aarey itself. The side of the Government should be presented before the Court in this regard: Sources
https://twitter.com/ANI/status/1542546200783880192
Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis directed the officers that a proposal be brought at the earliest to resume the Jalyukt Shivar scheme: Sources
For people not familiar with Mumbai and MH politics, the Metro car shed thing was one of the biggest points of contention between the BJP and UT Sena. And Sena has stalled the metro lines for 2.5 years because of this. Jalyukt Shivar scheme was Fadnavis' brainchild again and his pet project.

If DF was out of power - ES would always be accused of being a puppet CM - as this government will basically run under guidance of BJP and DF advising from outside would have led to Remote-Control/High-Command kind of accusations which BJP levels on Congress and NCP. Depending upon what circumstances remain 1 yr down the line - DF driving ES from outside could be an opening for one more revolt in SS camp. So showing an OBC Maratha as independent CM is required for SS to consolidate under Shinde. ES on his own is like OPS of TN, with late BT being Jaya and UT being Sasikala (sort of). Another unknown factor is whether NCP will split in what strength and which way will AP faction orient post SP's exit. For BJP it will be tactically beneficial if non-BJP Maratha is split between ES, RT and AP. BJP will want to govern BMC and other civic bodies along with State Government.

Excellent news on Mumbai metro. All these 2 yrs the Mumbai Metro had become a mill-stone around city's neck. No meaningful services running meant that it did not take-over any road and subarban rail traffic while at the same time the arterial roads were fully choked with all the civil and construction work and the pillars constructed for the metro.

apparently 7 lakh crore projects were put on hold past 2.5years. All of them will need to be (re)started and then brought on track again. MH paid a heavy price for this experiment and having Shinde as CM will also bring BMC into BJP fold. i think.

All infra projects except Sena's favorites of Mumbai-Nagpur eway and Mumbai coastal road had avoidable and intentional delays. Even the Mum-Delhi expressway construction has been slowest in MH. Mum-Ahmedabad HSR construction is also very slow in MH but fast in Gujarat. WDFC in MH also delayed. Plus there are others like Pune Metro and ring road, Marathwada water grid, Virar-Alibag MMC etc. MVA government has been one of the worst that MH has had.

The Mumbai Metro car shed issue is especially egregious since it was stopped merely so that Aditya Thackeray could impress his celebrity friends - Bollywood bimbos who arrive at Aarey in a gas guzzling SUV to hold placards saying "Save our trees". And UT was too overcome with love for his son to say no. Meanwhile ordinary Mubaikars continue to die falling out of the city's overcrowded trains.

Maha is still a politically fractured state unlike Gujarat where BJP has a stranglehold. This is a legacy of Maratha confederacy and has always been the case, even before Shivaji with different sardars serving different sultans. Don’t think that will change that soon. Also being 2nd most populous state means writ of Mumbai Pune doesn’t always reach Nagpur (may be the Mumbai Nagpur expressway may help hasten a change !) or Western Maharashtra etc. ordinary farmers still wear Gandhi topi so it will be a while before BJP can dominate or may be never. Pandurang hari is said more often than Jai shriram although the support is there. DF will need time to change that or stamp his authority all over organically.
50 shades of Saffron - completely agree! We need at least 1 party with a decent number of MPs for RW. Just like Israel has their religious parties. If you have daadhiwaala then we have our daadhiwaalas!

It is Patankar not Patekar. Her influence on UT is huge. Amit Shah was once so pissed with her (because of her presence and actions during the 2019 seat sharing negotiations) he had later said that he would not negotiate with Uddhav's "kitchen" meaning her.

Sachin wrote:"Shiv Sena is not born for power, power is born for Shiv Sena." - M/s Chuck Norris & Rajani Kanth Sanjay Raut 8).
By the way; does any one have a background dossier of Sanjay Ra.t. Who was he in the Shiva Sena party? How did he get into this kind of media lime light?
Sachinji, Ra.t started off as a stringer and reporter for a Marathi magazine called Lokprabha from the Express group. He also used to write Opinion pieces for it. At the time he was a very prominent critic of ShivSena and BT. He used to make fun of the Ram Janmabhooni movement in quite gutter language.. All this is documented in the old articles by him. There are interviews of him claiming he would never join politics etc etc.

BT at the time was feeling the need to have his own newspaper which he went on to start by the name of Saamna which still exists today. Somehow Ra.t managed to convince BT into giving him a job and eventually became the managing editor of the paper. At some point he got himself nominated as the Shiv Sena member to Rajya Sabha in 2004 time frame and was on some committee or the other which made him eligible for a bungalow. Interestingly, his bungalow was right next to Powerful’s one…. there are various rumours what happened .

Note that he along with Patankar is the architect of getting Shiv Sena aligned with Powerful NCP… you can connect the dots.

Making Shinde the CM is an excellent move on BJPs part. Note that none of the Shinde group has resigned from the Sena nor have they merged with any other party. Beyond the obvious sum of getting as many of UTs MLAs over, the game plan would be to get the all important election symbol itself. UT has no one to blame except himself for surrounding himself with sycophants who have no popular base of their own.

One of the main complaints about UT was that he was never available to anyone. Firstly he was never available in Mantralaya and under one pretext or the other was at home. If anyone went to meet him at his house, they were made to wait hours together when people such as Ra.t has open access… The likes of Shinde and his MLAs took a dim view of such things, especially when all their projects in their constituencies were being held up under one pretext or the other while NCP has a free reign in theirs…

For the benefit of the rest, please list all the factors that could be impacted by this change.
Eg: Internal to India
- Maharashtra: Shiv Sena and UT, Pawar and NCP, Deshmukh and Congress, Bhaiwood, Construction Mafia, Patrakar nexus, Bombay Trading Club and its minions, Bhima Koregaon Urban Naxals, fake Liberals(Aarey blockers); Islamist terrorists who murder Hindus, Secular terrorist who kill sadhus, Maha Police freed from crooked ministers, expect Anil Deshmuck and Nawab Malik cases to speed up.
- India: Jihadidi, Telugu contractor gangs who get 70% of all Maharashtra contracts, Nitish Kumar, Soren in Jharkhand, Gehlot in Rajasthan, Dalal Patrkars like Sardesai clipped, Karnatak money bags who park in Mumbai real estate.

External to India
China: Sees a unified India with reduced friction points
US: Sees a foil in Maharashtra blunted (every two-cowrie Biden supporter lands in Mumbai and gives warning speeches.)

1. Operation MH is not done yet. Hence Dev Bhau is not CM.. needs plausible deniability or even a façade of it. If i were to guess it would be NCP.
2. This is an indicator to shindes in other parties that break them open and you could become CM. we have enough shindes in other parties that want to be CM.

So much going on in MH and not a peep from Nitin Gadkari !! Is he really content with building highways and mixing ethanol in petrol and scouting for battery plant sites ??
In 2019 GE SS would have not gone alone - so till date I still wonder what was the need for promising Assembly alliance with SS. 2014 formula could have still been applied. BJP's strike rate of 122/260 in 2014 was only 48% where as in 2019 it was 65%. Had BJP contested independently in 2019 it would have been able to form government on its own.
Also BJP did not give SS DyCM in 2014 so UT was vengeful was known to all. And especially his reluctance to support NaMo candidature for 2014 and his subsequent uvvacchh mostly slighting him post that should have been ringing bells for 2019 assembly polls.
Someone gave wrong feedback to BJP leadership on DevF's re-electability and later DevF acting little immature to share CMship with UT.

Gadkari is not meant for backroom politics. He isn't good at it nor does he enjoy it I believe. He stayed quiet during the whole drama and tweeted his congratulations to Shinde and Fadnavis after they were sworn in. He is a terrific administrator though especially when it comes to road and infra projects. There is no one better.

In 2014 all 4 parties had fought independently. But in 2019, there was a Cong-NCP alliance. The math would not have worked out without BJP allying with Sena. There is too much overlap in their voter bases.

ramana ji, I think you have covered all the various effects quite well in your list. For me there are two most important effects that I am concerned about.

First is that the country's biggest cash cow of MH is kept out of the Cong-NCP's grubby hands prior to the 2024 LS elections. It is no secret that Cong had struggled for funding due to loss of state governments but they had reversed that due to their victories in 2018 in RJ, MP and CG. But MP is back in the fold and the other two have no where the same level of money available as MH. They have already been able to fill their coffers to some extent because the last 2.5 years has seen an unprecedented level of rapacity from the MVA with the Home Minister himself essentially running a huge protection racket in addition to the usual stealing from public funds that goes on. And based on the dissatisfaction of the SS MLA's all of this was going into the pockets of the NCP and Cong. So a lot of damage is already done but at least the bleeding can be stemmed now. Assuming ofc that this new govt. lasts till 2024. Keeping Cong, NCP and Uddhav Sena out of the BMC is equally important again because of the huge amounts of money they would have at their disposal otherwise.

Secondly, as a Maharashtrian who grew up in Mumbai this is personal for me. MH has never lived upto its potential especially in the last 30-40 years due to the kind of leaders we created. MH is counted as one of India's most prosperous states in the same league as TN, GJ, KA but the reality is that most of it is just based on Mumbai's financial machine. The city has been treated as an ATM machine by politicians while Infra and industrial development in most of the state has been lagging. The state governments have been utterly useless. The Fadnavis govt. was the only one which gave hope that the tide had turned. MH really needs a government like that back in power for another 10 years to reverse all the damage done.

Mumbai was made Slumbai by both SS and Khangress . One allowed Ambedkarnagar the other Shivajinagar. Destroyed a beautiful city. Hopefully the infra projects are kicked off in earnest and the pop votes for the right people

At least three other cities in MH are doing reasonably well - Pune, Nashik, and Nagpur. Pune does compete well with Hyderabad to some extent as it is close to Mumbai. In addition, Navi Mumbai is shaping up well too. MH hasn't sunk so far down that it cannot recover. Good governance of the BJP kind is the key. Pune has a lot more scope (or so I hope :-) ) and so does Nagpur.

This is a brilliant move by BJP
1. ES as CM keeps the SS folks together
2. DF ad DCM and many important portfolios in the hands of BJP will ensure control
3. BMC elections are in Sept or Oct 2022
4. If DF was CM, Congress and NCP could pressure/poach SS members and bring it down again
5. ES could withdraw support again
6. Now if 4 or 5 happens it is not BJP's fault
7. If BJP feels it needs to withdraw support they can do it using reasons similar to J&K
8. Congress and NCP starved for cash
9. Sushant Sinha, Kangana, Vaze and other cases will be in the limelight
10. ED, IT etc will be busy in the coming weeks. Raut has a blind date with ED
11. Many rumors' about baby penguin will be investigated

Personal Story: Was made/forced to listen to baby penguins poems back in 2006/7. It was an excruciating and painful 40 min.

Sirji Pune doesn't even have a proper airport. Hyderabad has 2 though only the new one is used for commercial flights. Pune has Lohegaon air base. Pune metro and ring road are also delayed. How exactly does it compare well with Hyderabad? The recent improvements in Nagpur are thanks to Gadkari.

Mumbai airport is still essentially a single runway (at a time) airport. Its new terminal is excellent but can never be fully completed because the land could not be acquired. Just check the satellite view of the terminal to understand what I'm saying. The MTHL is getting built only because Fadnavis was relentless about it in his last term.

Navi Mumbai airport plan was first conceived in 1997. This year they are finally finishing landscaping work and starting construction.

And this is just Mumbai and Pune. There are many other projects in other parts of the state stalled or delayed.

Of course MH can recover, but we need an uninterrupted Fadnavis style government for 10 years or more.

Revival of MH(apart from Mumbai) probably need of the hour.
Dont know how easy to wrest control of Shetkari Sanghs and the Co-Op Banks as the Onion Merchant has a stranglehold(dont know what has happened with the bill of reform)
Coastal MH could be a tourist destination to be developed and has many culinary delights(especially of Non-Veg type)
Religious Tourism (Apart from Kumbh nothing) given many Vittal ,Shiva, Sai bhakts all over the world!
Historical tours now that SS and Chhatrapati and Tananji in the news plus oldies like Ajanta and Ellora
Dont know how easy for land acquisition and Industrial base outside of Mumbai Nashik Nagpur

Former CM Captain Amarinder Singh is all set to merge his Punjab Lok Congress with BJP.

Whispers are that there may the possibility that his wife Preneet Kaur will resign from Patiala Lok Sabha constituency & his daughter Jai Inder Kaur will contest bypoll on BJP ticket.


https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation ... 71519.html

Sources said that the main challenge before the BJP is how to accommodate Amrinder Singh’s wife Preneet Kaur, who is a former Union minister and sitting Member of Parliament from Patiala. Preneet Kaur has reportedly decided to hang her boots and hand over the mantle to her daughter Jai Inder Kaur. She wants the BJP to promise the Patiala Lok Sabha ticket to Jai Inder Kaur.

The BJP leadership is reportedly not happy with the fact that Perneet Kaur has not left the Congress even as her husband and most of his friends have deserted the party.

Sources said that the BJP is also not keen on accommodating Jai Inder Kaur because of the involvement of her husband’s company Simbhaoli Sugars Ltd in alleged misappropriation of bank money and the resultant cases in CBI and the Enforcement Directorate. Jai Inder is married to Gurpal Singh of the Sansi royal family who owns and runs the Simbhaoli Sugars Ltd in Uttar Pradesh, the ITC Welcomhotel in Amritsar, besides other businesses.

Jai Inder has been helping her parents in elections and recently became the president of the All India Jat Mahasabha replacing Navjot Kaur, wife of former Punjab Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu.

The details of the merger of Captain’s party with the BJP would be worked out on his return from London. The decision of Preneet’s entry into the BJP would be taken by the BJP in consultation with him.
