Sanjay Raut, a senior Shiv Sena leader, has taken a jibe at the Maharashtra Chief Minister deadlock, suggesting that a “teen-murti” temple be formed, comprising three chief ministers. This comment comes amid the ongoing power struggle in Maharashtra, with Raut implying that the state might as well have three chief ministers, given the current impasse.¹
Raut’s statement is a clear mockery of the situation, where the Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), and Congress are struggling to form a government. The Shiv Sena has been insisting on the chief minister’s post, while the NCP and Congress are opposed to this demand.
The Shiv Sena leader has been vocal about his party’s stance, stating that the next chief minister will be from the Shiv Sena. Raut has also expressed his party’s willingness to form a government if no one else is able to do so.²
Raut’s comments have added to the growing uncertainty in Maharashtra, where the political stalemate continues. The situation remains fluid, with all parties engaged in intense negotiations to resolve the deadlock.
