Published: Nov 25 2024, 8 ameznews.inThe Mahayuti alliance of BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP, which recently triumphed in the Maharashtra elections, is yet to announce a date for the swearing-in ceremony amid uncertainty over the Chief Minister position. BJP leaders advocate for Devendra Fadnavis, citing his significant role in the party's success, while Shiv Sena members support Eknath Shinde, claiming his policies were pivotal to their victory. The NCP, led by Ajit Pawar, may back Fadnavis, potentially tipping the balance in favor of the BJP. With the BJP holding 132 of the 232 seats, discussions are ongoing among party leaders, including a potential rotational Chief Ministership. However, both Shinde and Fadnavis face pressure, as Shinde is reluctant to relinquish his post and Fadnavis seeks a longer-term leadership role. The outcome will significantly influence the political landscape in Maharashtra as the parties negotiate cabinet positions and leadership roles.
Published: Nov 25 2024, 10 ameznews.inA senior police officer in Bengaluru, Deputy Superintendent of Police Kanakalakshmi, has been accused of harassing 33-year-old businesswoman S Jeeva, who died by suicide on November 22. Jeeva, who owned a wood material shop and was also a lawyer, left an 11-page death note detailing her allegations against the officer, including claims of being stripped, humiliated, and extorted for a bribe of Rs. 25 lakh. Following her death, Jeeva's sister filed a complaint prompting the police to register a case against Kanakalakshmi. Jeeva was one of the accused in a scam involving the misuse of funds intended for the Bhovi community, which led to the CID's involvement. Despite the Karnataka High Court permitting her to be questioned via video conferencing, she was ordered to appear in person, leading to her alleged mistreatment during her visit to the CID office.

The two met during a memorial visit for the state's first chief minister, Y B Chavan, where Ajit congratulated Rohit, acknowledging the close race. Despite their political differences, Rohit regards Ajit as a "father figure," crediting him with significant support during the 2019 elections. In the recent polls, Ajit's faction of the NCP secured 41 seats, while the NCP (SP) led by Sharad Pawar managed only 10.

Published: Nov 25 2024, 9 ameznews.inNana Patole has resigned as the Maharashtra Congress chief following a disastrous performance in the recent Assembly elections, where the party secured only 16 out of 103 contested seats. Patole, who narrowly won his own seat in Sakoli by just 208 votes, had taken over the leadership in 2021. Although the Congress had a strong showing in the Lok Sabha elections earlier this year, the party's seat-sharing negotiations with allies Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (Sharad Pawar) created tensions. Despite Patole's assertions that the Congress would lead the post-election government, the alliance, Maha Vikas Aghadi, failed to gain traction, falling below the 50-seat mark as the BJP-led Mahayuti dominated with 232 seats. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh described the results as "unexpected" and "inexplicable," indicating that the party would conduct a thorough analysis of its electoral performance.
