Senior Maharashtra politician Chhagan Bhujbal has expressed his displeasure after being left out of the newly formed state cabinet. Bhujbal, a prominent leader from the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), voiced his frustration, saying, “Naraz hoon,” indicating that he was upset by the decision. Despite being a senior figure in the NCP and a key ally of the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, Bhujbal did not receive a ministerial position in the latest cabinet reshuffle, which has raised eyebrows within political circles.

Bhujbal, who has held several important positions in the state government in the past, including that of the Home Minister, had hoped for a prominent role in the new administration. His exclusion has sparked speculation about internal party dynamics and the power struggles within the MVA, which comprises the Shiv Sena, NCP, and Congress.

Sources close to Bhujbal say that he is particularly disappointed by the decision, as he had been a loyal member of the alliance. His absence from the cabinet has also led to questions about his political future and the NCP’s internal balancing act in choosing which leaders to reward with key posts. The development has caused tension within the party, with some supporters of Bhujbal expressing their discontent over the sidelining of a veteran leader.

The decision to exclude Bhujbal is seen as a significant move in Maharashtra politics, with many speculating about its impact on the MVA alliance’s stability. As of now, Bhujbal has refrained from taking any drastic steps but has made it clear that he is not pleased with the outcome. His next move remains to be seen, as the political landscape in Maharashtra continues to evolve.
