Will Maharashtra get a woman Chief Minister?

Mumbai: Will Maharashtra get the first woman Chief Minister after the upcoming Assembly election? The buzz in the state started after AAP announced Atishi as the Chief Minister face in Delhi following Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation.

The change in Delhi triggered Congress MP Varsha Gaikwad and former state cabinet minister to strongly make a case for a woman Chief Minister by naming NCP SP MP Supriya Sule and Shiv Sena UBT chief Uddhav Thackeray’s wife Rashmi Thackeray as the possible Chief Minister candidates in Maharashtra.
However, Shiv Sena leader and former Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar though agreed to Gaikwad’s argument in favour of a women Chief Minister but also clarified that Rashmi Thackeray’s name should not be there, citing she had never shown interest in active politics.

“I will be very happy if Maharashtra gets its first woman Chief Minister. Maharashtra is a state that gives opportunities to women. Maharashtra was the first to pass the reservation bill giving representation to women. So I would like to see a woman become the Chief Minister after the election,” said Gaikwad. She also pointed out that Supriya Sule from NCP and Rashmi Thackeray from Shiv Sena UBT are contenders for the post of Chief Minister.
