Shinde's biggest plus point in the power negotiations with the BJP will be his Maratha caste. The BJP does not have an acceptable Maratha leader. Since the Maratha community dominates Maharashtra's politics, the next Chief Minister is likely to be from the Maratha community. In this way, Shinde can convince the BJP to continue with the current power-sharing formula. He can demand the CM's post again. Shinde's freebies are a step towards consolidating his position as a strong negotiator in the Mahayuti.
