News India Live, Digital Desk: The politics of Maharashtra is no less than a thriller film. No one knows what will happen here. Just when people were discussing about Dhananjay Munde, now another big news has come out from NCP (Ajit Pawar faction). The speculations about Sinnar MLA and powerful leader Manikrao Kokate have now come to an end, but this is no less than a big shock for his supporters.
‘Chair’ came to hand but could not fit.
It is said in politics that nothing should be considered certain until an oath is taken. Something similar happened with Manikarao Kokate also. It was believed to be certain in political circles that Kokate would definitely get a ministerial post. Considering his experience and his stature in the party, his name was in the forefront. But as soon as the picture of cabinet expansion became clear, everyone was surprised to see Kokate’s name missing from the list.
It is being said that there was some internal equation that the tables were turned at the last moment. While on one hand the workers were preparing for the celebration, on the other hand this decision has spread despair.
Now a new challenge in front of Ajit Pawar?
It must not have been easy for Ajit Pawar to take this decision. Keeping the loyal and strong leaders of your party happy is a big challenge for any leader. The kind of news that is coming in regarding names like first Dhananjay Munde and now Manikarao Kokate, clearly shows that there is no ‘all is well’ situation within the party.
It is natural for the leaders to be unhappy at not getting a place in the cabinet. Kokate has considerable influence in Nashik district. In such a situation, ignoring them may prove costly for the party in future. The question being raised is whether the tug of war still continues regarding distribution of seats and posts in Mahayuti?
huge anger among supporters
As soon as the news came out that Manikrao Kokate was not being made a minister, his supporters erupted in anger. Activists working at the grassroots level are considering this as an insult to their leader. In politics, this resentment of supporters sometimes becomes the spark of rebellion.
Now it will be interesting to see what is the next step of Manikarao Kokate. Will they accept the party’s decision or express their displeasure? At present, this development has intensified the stir in Maharashtra politics and everyone’s eyes are fixed on Ajit Pawar’s next move.
