Shiv Sainik Leader Bachchu Kadu Pushes for Eknath Shinde as Maharashtra CM, Promotes Devendra Fadnavis

At a gathering in Bhandara-Gondiya, Bachchu Kadu spoke candidly. He said that it was natural for every Shiv Sainik to want their leader to be the chief minister and workers to work for it. According to him, no Shiv Sainik would want the chief minister to be from the Congress or the Nationalist Party. Bachchu Kadu insisted that he and all his workers were absolutely desperate to see Eknath Shinde as the chief minister of Maharashtra again. This statement is being seen as an attempt to unite the workers. When asked about Devendra Fadnavis, Kadu said that he felt that the loudest voice of Maharashtra should be in one of the highest positions in the country. When asked if he wanted to make Fadnavis the prime minister, Kadu sounded a note of caution. He said that he did not want to create any rift between Narendra Modi and Devendra Fadnavis. However, he reiterated that Fadnavis should be promoted to the top post.
