In another piece of information which signals a widening rift in the Mahayuti government in Maharashtra, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has curbed the Urban Development Ministry, the department held by his deputy Eknath Shinde for allocating funds for projects without the CMO’s approval, sources revealed on Wednesday. This comes amid Fadnavis seen warming up to his estranged ally Uddhav Thackeray recently on multiple occasions and a bunch of meetings with the Shiv Sena (UBT) chief and his son Aaditya Thackeray, fueling speculations of another government shake-up in the state.
