Shiv Sena-Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray leader Sanjay Raut claimed that Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis might move to the Centre and a Bharatiya Janata Party minister could take his post in the state if a cabinet reshuffle takes place in the coming months.
Raut was speaking to reporters in Nagpur during his visit to the city ahead of the Uddhav Thackeray-led Sena-UBT’s ‘Ram Raksha Andolan’ in Nagpur.
Asked about possible cabinet reshuffles at the Centre as well as in the state in the next one or two months, Raut said Maharashtra might see key changes in the government in that case.
“If a reshuffle happens at the Centre, Fadnavis may go there to serve the nation and a senior BJP minister can become the chief minister of Maharashtra,” Raut said.
Raut said Sena-UBT has organised a Ram Raksha protest in Nagpur on July 18 against the alleged embezzlement of donations at the Ayodhya Ram temple.
Invitations have been extended to all ‘Hindutvavadi’ organisations, including the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), he said.
