Maha developments ominous signs for democracy: TMC

Terming the political developments in Maharashtra as ominous signs for a democracy, the TMC on Thursday stated that "people's mandate was insulted in the western state as the BJP resorted to horse-trading to bring down a democratically elected government. "What happened in Maharashtra is an ominous sign for a democracy. A democratically elected government was toppled through undemocratic means... this is a dangerous trend. The politics of horse-trading, financed by the BJP, was at play. The BJP's agenda is to capture power by hook or by crook," TMC chief spokesperson Sukhendu Sekhar Ray said. Ray claimed a lot of money was spent to bring down the state government in Maharashtra. "They either want to disturb or topple every opposition-led government in the country. If someone doesn't agree to switch sides, they will use CBI and ED to threaten them. This is a worrying trend that a party in power at the Centre is purchasing MLAs and destabilising state governments. This trend has started after the BJP came to power in 2014."

Ramdas Athawale courts Eknath Shinde for cabinet berths

Union minister Ramdas Athawale on Thursday demanded that his Republican Party of India (Athawale) be given a berth in the Eknath Shinde-led government. Athawale said it was expected that BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis will take oath as the chief minister after the fall of the Shiv Sena-led MVA government on Wednesday following a rebellion by Shinde. But by taking "an ideal decision" of announcing Shinde as the chief minister despite the BJP having more MLAs, Fadnavis has emerged as a "kingmaker", the Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment said. The RPI has been with the BJP in the entire process of government formation. So, it should be given a berth in the new cabinet, Athawale said.
