Episode description
The Bhartiya Janata Party or the BJP delivered a political masterstroke in Maharashtra last week that stunned the Opposition parties. A year ago on June 30, it broke the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government that had been ruling the state since 2019 and formed its own government. This is it did by splitting the Shiv Sena and winning over Eknath Shinde and band of 39 Shiv Sena MLAs an anointing him chief minister of the new alliance that they formed with it.
On July 2, BJP played another ace by weaning away the leader of the Opposition Ajit Pawar along with a major chunk of the National Congress Party or NCP. Ajit Pawar was made a deputy chief minister and eight others NCP MLAs were sworn in as cabinet ministers.
So, in this episode of Nothing But the Truth, Editorial Director (Publishing) Raj Chengappa analyses why the strike against the NCP in Maharashtra is part of the larger BJP strategy to win the 2024 General Election.
