Photograph: Atul Yadav/PTI Photo However, MLA Santosh Bangar from the Shinde-led Shiv Sena denied Thackeray's claim and said there was no threat by the BJP. The reason behind the "revolt" against Thackerays was their alliance with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Congress, Bangar said. Union minister Ramdas Athawale also said the allegations against Shinde were false and the latter was a strong man and he would never cry. Speaking during an interaction at a university in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday, Aaditya Thackeray, the son of former Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray, alleged that 40 MLAs rebelled against the Sena leadership for their own seats and "money". "The current chief minister ( Shinde) came to our house and cried because he was going to be arrested by a central agency, and he said 'I will have to hop over to the BJP otherwise they will arrest me'," he claimed. "It was his good luck that they ( the BJP) wanted to show this guy is the true Sena and we ( BJP) will make him the CM," the former minister said.

Millions of newspaper readers in Maharashtra, on Tuesday, 13 June, woke up to a full-page ad splashed on the front pages of many prominent dailies titled 'Modi for India, Shinde for Maharashtra: The Dream Team Loved by All.' The slogan was an unmistakable reference to the Except, this ad had The ad also had only one photo – Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde – and only Shiv Sena symbol in a corner. When asked about the ad, Shinde told mediapersons, "Our government works under the guidance of the country's prime minister Narendra Modi. This is a double engine government." He also tried to play down the matter of Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis' missing photo. "Photo may be there or not but both of us are in people's hearts and that is more important." Before the current CM joined hands with the BJP in June 2022, the slogan 'Narendra in the Country, Devendra in the State' was popular among the BJP followers. It is also not a secret that Fadnavis wasn't happy about having to cede the CM post to Shinde last year. The tagline of 'Modi for India, Shinde for Maharashtra' wouldn't have gone down well with him. On Tuesday, he cancelled his scheduled Kolhapur visit, apparently because he was upset over the ad. The official reason given was that he wanted to avoid air travel due to a problem to his eardrum. Otherwise a media-savvy politician, he refused to speak to reporters on Tuesday. What may have really ticked off Fadnavis and the BJP was the c...

Premium Newsmaker | Eknath Shinde: No. 2 after the Thackerays, backer of BJP, MVA’s ‘weakest link’ could have dealt final blow According to party sources, the final straw for Eknath Shinde might have been the Shiv Sena's decision to override his suggestion that the party contest the Thane Municipal Corporation polls alone. From working in a beer brewery in Thane and driving an autorickshaw to make ends meet, to becoming the most powerful leader in the present Shiv Sena after the Thackerays, Eknath Shinde, 58, looked set on Tuesday to join the ranks of leaders like Chhagan Bhujbal and Narayan Rane who had earlier Worryingly for the Thackerays, Shinde has the loyalty of many party MLAs for being accessible to MLAs – especially when an appointment at Matoshree can be tough – and being generous with economic largesse. The Shinde family originally belongs to Satara district and moved to Thane in the ’70s when Shinde was just a child. His start was with odd jobs, at places such as a beer brewery and fishery, apart from his stint as an autorickshaw driver, before he began his association with the Also Read | Shinde soon gained proximity to then Thane district Sena president Anand Dighe, who ran the local unit with an iron fist and was instrumental in making the Shiv Sena a dominant force in the area. As Shinde modelled his appearance too after his mentor, Dighe had rewarded his loyalty with helping him win a seat in the Thane Municipal Corporation in 1997. Dighe was also there fo...

Amid growing tensions within Maharashtra’s ruling parties, the Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Deputy CM and State BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on June 13 cancelled his visit to Kolhapur district citing ‘medical reasons’. Friction arose between the ‘Mahayuti’ (translated ‘grand alliance’) partners after a newspaper advertisement placed by the Shinde-led Sena cited a survey which claimed Mr. Shinde was more preferred as the State’s CM than Mr. Fadnavis. Leaders from the Shinde camp scrambled to downplay any differences between their party and the BJP over the survey while the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) pooh-poohed the government’s survey, saying it was “laughable” that the Shinde camp had deployed an agency to conduct a survey obviously favourable to them. “There are no differences between the BJP and the Shiv Sena. Mr. Fadnavis has cancelled his visit owing to medical reasons. We were all present at the state cabinet meeting today where we discussed government schemes and how they can benefit more people,” said Deepak Kesarkar, who is spokesman for the Shinde camp and Guardian Minister of Kolhapur. At the same time, Mr. Kesarkar said that if there had been a mistake while given the advertisement, “it could be corrected.” The full-page advertisement with the flaming headline “Modi for India, Shinde for Maharashtra” featured a picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi chatting amicably with Mr. Shinde. There were no p...
