<h1>Maharashtra Govt Pauses Guardian Minister Appointments for Nashik, Raigad Amid Ruling Coalition Tensions.</h1> The Maharashtra government has halted the appointment of guardian ministers for Nashik and Raigad districts, highlighting tensions within the ruling coalition. Initially, NCP's representative was assigned Raigad, and a BJP leader was assigned Nashik. However, the Chief Minister intervened to stay these appointments. Guardian ministers manage funds for district development, a role often used to exert political influence. The decision has caused discontent among Shiv Sena leaders, who were keen on these positions. The appointments were part of the new BJP-NCP-Shiv Sena government's efforts to distribute responsibilities across 36 districts.
