In its first fortnight at the helm, the Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis sarkar has taken off amid a lot of questions that will be answered in the coming days. Political circles say that the delay in expanding the Cabinet and the deferring of the monsoon session stem from the fact that Chief Minister Shinde and his deputy Fadnavis are waiting for the cloud of uncertainty to clear—thanks to a bunch of cases in the Supreme Court that are set to be taken up and put on a certain course. A lot depends on the SC, including the answers to the questions.
Will the floor test that has been challenged by the Thackeray faction be able to muster the SC’s approval? Will the Shiv Sena MLAs not be disqualified? Will the Shinde faction continue to be acknowledged as a separate group in the House or go back to the Thackeray Sena or merge with the BJP or any other party? If the BJP were to have the Shinde group merged (supposedly with itself), why did it do all this? And if all goes wrong for the BJP and Shinde, will there be a mid-term poll or yet another political surprise?
