What will be Bhujbal’s next move?

NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) leader Chhagan Bhujbal has expressed displeasure at being overlooked for a ministerial berth in the Mahayuti government. Despite this setback, Bhujbal has said he has no plans to form a new political party and intends to remain within the government while continuing to voice his concerns. Bhujbal’s supporters argue that he played a key role in rallying the OBC community's support and his exclusion from the cabinet is unpardonable. This situation raises critical questions: Will the BJP step in to resolve Bhujbal's grievances, or will Bhujbal resort to drastic measures to assert his position? The unfolding tensions signal a turning point in Maharashtra politics, ushering in a potentially tumultuous phase for the ruling alliance.
