Caretaker Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s son Shrikant Shinde on Monday put the speculations of him being in the race for the Deputy Chief Minister post in Maharashtra to rest, terming the reports as “baseless”.
“The swearing-in ceremony of the Mahayuti government has been delayed a bit, leading to widespread rumors and speculation. Caretaker Chief Minister Eknath Shinde took two days off to rest due to health issues, which further fueled these rumors. For the past two days, there have been reports suggesting that I will become the Deputy Chief Minister, but these claims are completely baseless and without any truth,” he posted on X, amid suspense over the CM and Deputy CM faces in the state.
