THE TRANSACTIONAL NATURE OF POLITICS TODAY
The Daily Guardian|December 04, 2024

Eknath Shinde, who is also the outgoing Chief Minister, is not ready to give up his seat and has thrown a full-scale sulk that has grabbed national headlines. If not the CM's post, he definitely wants the Home Ministry as a consolation prize. But that is a portfolio the BJP will never part with, for therein lies control of the state's security and intelligence apparatus.
