Refuting rumours of a rift within the ruling Mahayuti alliance, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Sunday said that everything was ” cool cool” between him, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar.
His remarks came days after he said “don’t take me lightly”, asserting that he overturned the incumbent government when he was not taken seriously in 2022, referring to the fall of the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA regime..
During a joint press conference, alongside Fadnavis and Pawar, the Shiv Sena chief refuted claims of a “cold war” within the ruling alliance. “No matter how hard you try to create breaking news by suggesting conflicts, our alliance is not going to break,” he said.
