'Come and fight with me, not my son' - CM Shinde issues open challenge to Uddhav

Maharashtra Politics: The heat has increased once again in Maharashtra politics, when Chief Minister Eknath Shinde openly challenged Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray. During an event held in Thane on Sunday, Shinde reacted strongly to Uddhav Thackeray's comments against his son Shrikant Shinde. Shinde challenged Thackeray directly and said that do not target his son, and if you want to compete, then compete directly with me.

"Don't drag the son, compete with me" - Shinde

Chief Minister Shinde fiercely targeted Uddhav Thackeray in his speech. He said, "Why are you criticizing someone's son? If you want to compete, then come and compete with his father, I am challenging you." Shinde described Thackeray's criticisms as the result of his internal breakdown and said that his work is affecting him so much that he is making such comments. Shinde also said that he will answer the allegations raised against him with his work.

Shinde's attack on Mahavikas Aghadi

The Chief Minister also criticized the tenure of the Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA) government in his speech. He said, "Just calculate the two and a half years of Mahavikas Aghadi and our one and a half years, the truth will come out." Shinde also claimed that when his Mahayuti government came to power, work started rapidly in the interest of the people, due to which his government has become the favorite of the people.

Uddhav Thackeray's comments

Earlier, on Saturday, Uddhav Thackeray had targeted the leaders of the Shinde faction in a meeting. Thackeray had clearly said that the return of the leaders who have left Shiv Sena is not possible now. He said, "No traitor will be given entry into the party. The people of the state will show BJP and Shiv Sena their place in the assembly elections. In one and a half months, these traitors will come to us for jobs because they will become jobless."

Political turmoil

The dispute between Shinde and Thackeray factions in Shiv Sena has been going on for a long time. Since the split of Shiv Sena under the leadership of Eknath Shinde, there has been a fierce war of words between the two factions. The way Shinde has challenged Uddhav Thackeray, it is clear that Maharashtra politics may get even hotter in the coming days.

Conclusion

This war of words between Eknath Shinde and Uddhav Thackeray is starting a new chapter in Maharashtra politics. While on the one hand Shinde described his work as his strength, on the other hand Uddhav Thackeray has vowed to keep the betrayers out of the party. This conflict may become more intense as the elections approach, which may take the state politics in a new direction.
