<h1>Power Struggle Intensifies Among Maharashtra's Top Leaders as Deputy CMs Face Alleged Sidelining</h1> A power struggle is reportedly occurring within Maharashtra's Mahayuti government between Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar, according to an opposition leader. The leader claims Pawar's files were redirected to Shinde for approval to diminish Pawar's influence, while Fadnavis appointed a close associate as economic advisor to monitor the finance department. The leader also alleges discrimination in fund distribution and ministerial appointments to limit Shinde's authority. Both deputy chief ministers' speeches were allegedly canceled at a recent event, suggesting growing tensions. These conflicts may ultimately lead to the government's collapse.
