A quiet but telling development within Maharashtra\u2019s political corridors has sparked a new round of speculation \u2014 several flagship schemes launched during Eknath Shinde\u2019s tenure as Chief Minister appear to have been pushed into cold storage. From the \u2018Anandacha Shidha\u2019 and \u2018Mukhyamantri Majhi Shala, Sundar Shala\u2019 initiatives to the Re 1 Crop Insurance Scheme and Swachhta Monitor, multiple projects once promoted as Shinde\u2019s people-centric governance models have either stalled or been discontinued this year.<\/p>\n

The Opposition, however, sees more than just administrative delays behind this silence. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council, Ambadas Danve, took to social media to allege growing discontent within the Mahayuti government and accused the BJP of sidelining its ally.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy shutting down schemes that were meant to bring even a small benefit to the common people, the Devendra Fadnavis government has effectively dismissed the decisions of its own allies,” Danve said. \u201cInterestingly, those who once called the shots \u2014 the so-called \u2018plot leaders\u2019 who switched sides \u2014 are now silent on the issue, busy praising the \u2018Bullet Train\u2019 dream of the ruling power instead.”<\/p>\n

Danve listed several discontinued projects, including Anandacha Shidha, Majhi Sundar Shala, One State, One Uniform, Ladkya Bhavala Apprenticeship, and Mukhyamantri Teerth Darshan Yojana, asserting that the BJP-led administration was \u201cclosing down every scheme that had the Shinde stamp.” \u201cWe will make sure to expose the hollowness of such election-driven politics before the people,” he added.<\/p>\n

\u2018Work Has Not Stopped Anywhere\u2019: Shinde Sena<\/h2>\n

Leaders from the Shinde-led Shiv Sena, however, have dismissed any notion of internal conflict. Krishna Hegde, senior Sena leader from the Shinde camp, maintained that the alliance remains intact and that many schemes are simply being recalibrated or redirected toward priority areas. \u201cWe are in alliance and fought elections together, and now we are also preparing for local body polls as one front against Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT). So there is no question of Eknath Shinde getting sidelined in this alliance,” Hegde said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government may have paused some of the earlier schemes because funds have been diverted to the Ladki Bahin initiative and to 32 flood-affected districts. But our party has continued distributing essential kits to needy families. The work Eknath Shinde started has not stopped anywhere.”<\/p>\n

The \u2018Anandacha Shidha\u2019 programme \u2014 launched to provide essential household items to low-income families during festive seasons \u2014 and the \u2018Majhi Shala, Sundar Shala\u2019 initiative to modernise schools were among Shinde\u2019s signature schemes. While officials maintain that these projects are \u201cunder review,” their absence from the current budget cycle has fuelled speculation about shifting power equations within the Mahayuti, where Shinde now serves as Deputy Chief Minister alongside Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar.<\/p>\n

\u2018There\u2019s More Coordination, Not Less\u2019: BJP<\/h2>\n

The BJP, too, has rubbished the Opposition\u2019s claims, insisting that the alliance remains united and focused on governance. Navnath Ban, Chief of the Communication Department, Maharashtra BJP, said that periodic reviews of schemes were part of good governance and not a sign of friction.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no competition between Mahayuti leaders \u2014 especially between Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde, and Ajit Pawar,” Ban asserted. \u201cOur government is not like the previous one, where the head of the government used to sit at home and work. The Mahayuti is working together for the people.”<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery government reviews its schemes and enhances them to serve people better. Those who are trying to defame our government should know there is far more coordination among the three top leaders of the Mahayuti than there ever was in the MVA.”<\/p>\n

As Maharashtra heads toward crucial local body elections, the shelving of Shinde\u2019s marquee schemes has become more than an administrative question \u2014 it\u2019s a political signal being read in multiple ways. For the Opposition, it\u2019s ammunition to allege a deepening rift; for the ruling alliance, it\u2019s merely routine governance realignment.<\/p>\n
