  "account": "Maharashtra's Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has sternly cautioned leaders of the Mahayuti alliance about ongoing disagreements and internal strife. At the inaugural meeting of the Mahayuti Coordination Committee, Fadnavis emphasized the need for proper coordination and urged alliance partners to refrain from criticizing leaders from other partners' parties. The meeting, held on Monday evening and attended by Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Sunetra Pawar, examined several pressing issues, including disputes within the alliance, the pending distribution of government corporations, and the allocation of funds through District Planning Committees.\n\nMahayuti Coordination Committee member Chandrashekhar Bawankule, the Maharashtra BJP president, revealed that strict instructions were issued to all alliance partners, ordering them to uphold complete coordination at the grassroots level. MLAs and MPs have been specifically prohibited from making public statements against leaders or parties belonging to other Mahayuti constituents.\n\nThe committee also deliberated on a dispute resolution mechanism. Initially, district-level fund allocation disagreements will be directed to the divisional commissioner for resolution. If unresolved, the Coordination Committee will step in. In cases of persistent disagreement, the final decision will be made jointly by the Chief Minister and the two Deputy Chief Ministers.\n\nThe BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP are expected to finalize the allocation of government corporations within the next 15 days. A proposed formula allocates 48% of the corporations to the BJP, 29% to the Shiv Sena, and 23% to the NCP. The final individual corporation distribution will be determined in subsequent committee meetings.",
