Eknath Shinde, the leader of the Shiv Sena, declared on Wednesday that he would accept Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision on the Mahayuti alliance’s pick for the future chief minister of Maharashtra, amid the uncertainty surrounding the appointment.
Eknath Shinde referred to Prime Minister Modi as the head of the family during a news conference in Mumbai. He asserted that the BJP leadership shouldn’t view him as a barrier to the establishment of a government.
“I have told the Prime Minister that if there is any problem in forming the government in Maharashtra because of me, then do not bring any doubt in your mind and whatever decision you take, that decision is acceptable to me. You are the head of our family,” he said.
“I told PM Modi, and Amit Shah, that they should not look at me as an obstacle. I will stand by any decision that is taken by them,” he added.
Eknath Shinde further said his party will support whatever decision the BJP leadership takes regarding the coveted post.
He said he told PM Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday that their decision would be binding on him and Shiv Sena.
Shinde said he had worked as a common man and never considered himself the chief minister.
