Chavan was reacting to Sena MP Sanjay Raut's statement earlier in the day that the Sena was "ready to consider" the demand of the MLAs led by Eknath Shinde that it should end the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance with the NCP and Congress.
Congress party on Tuesday deputed its senior leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath as an AICC observer in the state.
A group of rebel Maharashtra MLAs, led by Shinde, were flown to Guwahati today morning and were taken to a luxury hotel on the outskirts of the city amid tight security.
Eknath Shinde has been elected consecutively for four terms in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly -- 2004, 2009, 2014, and 2019.
Earlier in the day, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said Shinde is not in Mumbai, but communication has been established with him. Raut asserted that the Sena is a party of loyalists.
Briefing mediapersons, Fadnavis said, "There are no ifs and buts in politics. Decisions are taken according to the prevailing circumstances. There might be some differences with Shiv Sena but we are not enemies."
Political developments continued to emerge from Maharashtra on Monday as allegations flew thick and fast in the Sachin Waze case. IPS officer Param Bir Singh moved the Supreme Court seeking direction for an immediate "unbiased, uninfluenced, impartial and fair" CBI probe into alleged corrupt malpractices of Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh. The matter shook the Parliament, causing an uproar over the corruption allegations in the Question Hour. Meanwhile, NCP chief Sharad Pawar continued to defend Deshmukh, and dismissed demands for his resignation.
It seems that a section of the Congress camp in Maharashtra is upset with the cabinet expansion of the Uddhav Thackeray-led government. A senior leader of the Congress party hoped that the party brass takes note of the feeling that loyalists are being ignored at a time when they deserved an opportunity.
Soon after taking charge as chief minister on November 28, Uddhav Thackeray ordered a stay on construction of Metro 3 carshed in Aarey Colony and gave directions for review of several big-ticket projects, including bullet train, started or approved when the BJP was in power.
The Shiv Sena, which has 18 MPs in the Lok Sabha, pointed out that most of the states from the North East region have opposed the CAB along with Bihar where the BJP is sharing power with the JD(U), and West Bengal.
The cabinet expansion was earlier scheduled for the first week of December. However, it has now been postponed to a later date. With 169 MLAs behind him, Shiv Sena's Uddhav Thackeray sailed through the floor test on the floor of the Maharashtra state assembly on November 30.
Rahul and his team were initially averse to the party joining hands with the Shiv Sena, but agreed to back the Sena-led government after the common minimum programme (CMP) was finalised and all contentious issues were resolved.
She said: "The Governor behaved in an unprecedented and most reprehensible manner. There is no doubt that he acted under the instructions of the Prime Minister and the Home Minister. The BJP's pre-poll alliance did not hold because of its own arrogance and over-confidence. Every effort was made to blatantly sabotage the three-party alliance government formation, but we appealed to the Supreme Court and the Modi-Shah government was totally exposed".
The first chief minister of Maharashtra after its formation in 1960 was Yashwantrao Chavan. He held the post from May 1, 1960, to November 20, 1962, when he was appointed defence minister in the aftermath of war with China.
