Rebuffed, Eknath Shinde skips BJP neta’s filing of nomination for council chair’s post

BJP MLC Ram Shinde filed his nomination for Maharashtra Legislative Council chairperson, accompanied by CM Fadnavis and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar. Eknath Shinde’s absence signals a setback for Shiv Sena, which sought the post for Neelam Gorhe. Shinde’s likely unopposed victory gives BJP control of both legislative houses.
