Maharashtra Politics: Assembly elections are going to be held in Maharashtra this year, and in view of this, the political temperature is rising rapidly. The round of rhetoric and allegations and counter-allegations has intensified between the major political parties of the state—Mahayuti and Maha Vikas Aghadi. Shiv Sena (Uttar Pradesh) chief Uddhav Thackeray in Nagpur has launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its leaders, in which he has also questioned Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat about the BJP's idea of ​​​​Hindutva. Thackeray accused the BJP of looting Maharashtra and described his fight as for the sovereignty and self-respect of the state.

Question on BJP's Hindutva

Uddhav Thackeray, in his statement, questioned the BJP's idea of ​​​​Hindutva and asked RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, "Mohan Bhagwatji, do you agree with this Hindutva of BJP? Goons and corrupt people are joining this BJP, do you think this is right?" Thackeray said in reference to Amit Shah, "Amit Shah is coming to finish me, but only my people can finish me, not Amit Shah." Through this statement, Thackeray openly expressed his disagreement with the BJP's Hindutva and its political direction.

Allegation of looting Maharashtra

Uddhav Thackeray accused the BJP of taking Maharashtra's assets towards Gujarat. He said that when he was the Chief Minister, no project went out of Maharashtra, but "in the last two and a half years since Shinde (Mindhe) has gone there, everything is being taken to Gujarat." Thackeray clearly said that this fight is not just for power, but to stop the looting of Maharashtra. His statement raises questions on the policies of the BJP and its development work in the state.

Amit Shah's secret meeting revealed

Uddhav Thackeray made a big revelation referring to a closed-door meeting of Amit Shah held recently in Nagpur. He said, "Amit Shah had asked BJP leaders to create a rift in the opposition parties and finish me and Sharad Pawar politically. If he can make such a big statement, why doesn't he say it in front of the public?" Thackeray claims that Amit Shah and BJP want to weaken the political power of Maharashtra so that they can gain control over the state's assets.

The end of the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance and the strategy ahead

Uddhav Thackeray also recalled the incident of breaking the three-decade-old alliance of Shiv Sena with BJP. He said, "In 2014, when BJP broke the alliance with Shiv Sena before the assembly elections, we were still able to win 63 seats." He was pointing out that the strength of Shiv Sena is capable of fighting BJP alone.

Conclusion

As the Maharashtra assembly elections are approaching, the intensity of conflict and allegations among political leaders is increasing. This statement of Uddhav Thackeray is an open attack on BJP and its policies, in which the protection of the sovereignty and interests of Maharashtra is being given priority. Thackeray claims that this is not just a fight for power, but a fight for the future of Maharashtra and the protection of its assets.
