The Eknath Shinde story: Former auto driver who changed the game in Maharashtra politics

Once an auto-rickshaw driver in Thane city adjoining Mumbai, Shinde (58) quickly emerged as a key Sena leader in the Thane-Palghar region after joining politics and is known for aggressive approach towards issues of public interest. The Sena leader, a four-time MLA who holds urban development and PWD portfolios in the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, never hides his humble origins. On the contrary, he makes it a point to mention it at times to underscore how he has been indebted to the saffron party and its founder late Bal Thakeray for his rise in state politics. CLICK HERE FOR LIVE UPDATES ON MAHARASHTRA POLITICAL TURMOIL Born on February 9, 1964, Shinde left his education before he could complete graduation and soon got associated with the Shiv Sena when it was growing in the state. Originally hailing from Satara district in western Maharashtra, Thane district, a Sena stronghold, is now his political home. Bal Thackeray formed Shiv Sena in 1966 on 'sons-of-the-soil' plank and later the party aggressively championed the cause of Hindutva. The party's aggressive approach towards issues close to its heart and the powerful persona of Bal Thackeray prompted Shinde to join the Sena in Thane. The sitting MLA from Kopri-Pachpakhadi in Thane city is known for taking part in street politics and faces dozens of criminal charges such as voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons and rioting, among others. Growing under the shadows of Shiv Sena stalwart from Thane Anand Dighe,...

Eknath Shinde

In June last year, the startling dénouement to Maharashtra’s regime change drama came when BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, widely considered the front-runner for the top post, bit the bullet and announced ‘rebel’ Shiv Sena leader The crisis triggered by Mr. Shinde’s revolt, which vertically split the 56-year-old party founded by the late Bal Thackeray and toppled the tripartite But in the 10 months since Mr. Shinde’s faction of 50 MLAs (40 from the undivided Sena and 10 Independents) formed a new government with the BJP, there have been questions about the constitutional and moral legitimacy of his government. Those questions were reinforced by Supreme Court’s verdict last week in Explained | What is the SC ruling on Sena vs. Sena? The rise of the current CM, from his hardscrabble early years working in a brewery, then leaving studies to drive an autorickshaw in Thane to support his family, has become the stuff of legend in Maharashtra’s politics (He finally took a B.A. degree in 2020). With no platinum spoon or political pedigree, Mr. Shinde built one for himself, nurtured and mentored by the fiery and fearsome Anand Dighe, the late Sena strongman dubbed the ‘Bal Thackeray of Thane.’ Mr. Shinde, who become a Sena branch head in Thane when he was just 18 in 1982, modelled his personality on Dighe, who was known for his simplicity, honesty and round-the-clock accessibility for poorer sections but a dangerous man to cross when dealing with political or personal betrayal. The 1...

Eknath Shinde, the man who changed the game in Maharashtra’s politics

By Kamlesh Damodar Sutar: Maharashtra minister and Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde plunged the ruling alliance in the state into a political crisis by reportedly moving to a hotel in Gujarat's Surat with several party MLAs. The move has put a question mark on the future of Maharashtra’s ruling alliance led by the Shiv Sena (whose leader Uddhav Thackeray is the chief minister) and also comprising the NCP and the Congress. Eknath Shinde, an auto driver in Thane, lost two of his children in a tragic accident. His son and daughter drowned in Satara in front of his eyes. Shinde became reclusive and decided to stay away from politics. He was a Shiv Sena corporator back then. But Shinde's political guru, Anand Dighe, led him back into active politics. Late Anand Dighe was a mass leader from Thane. Soon, Eknath Shinde was appointed as the leader of the house in Thane Municipal corporation. After Dighe's death in 2001, Shinde grew exponentially and played a crucial role in strengthening the Sena in the state, particularly in the Thane region. He has been responsible for organising the Sena’s major political events. Shinde carefully built his image mirroring Dighe, with a similar beard, and adopted Dighe's unique style of functioning. After Raj Thackeray and Narayan Rane's revolt, it was Shinde who brought crowds to Sena rallies. During the 2019 political crisis, it was Shinde who wrestled back a few MLAs. His son, Shrikant Shinde, is Sena's Member of Parliament from Kalyan. Eknath S...

Tracking Eknath Shinde’s career trajectory, from driving an auto

It was a move that has taken everyone by complete surprise. Even the most seasoned political watchers wouldn’t have been able to predict this turn of events, which developed on Thursday afternoon. And the swearing-in has not been left to any delay either. Shinde will take oath at 7.30 pm this evening at Raj Bhawan, and Fadnavis also announced that he will not be a part of the new cabinet that is likely to be sworn in in the coming week. Fadnavis further added that the BJP has decided to support “Shiv Sena Legislature Party leader” Shinde to “save Hindutva and serve the people of Maharashtra.” He highlighted that while the saffron party and Shiv Sena had contested the 2019 Maharashtra Assembly elections together as a pre-poll alliance, Uddhav Thackeray “backstabbed us and dumped the saffron unit in the lust for power.” Born in Maharashtra’s Satara on February 9, 1964, Shinde hails from the Maratha community. His family shifted to Thane in search of livelihood, and Eknath completed his education until class 11 at Mangala High School & Junior College, Thane. He then started doing odd jobs to eke a living, and eventually started driving an auto-rickshaw in Thane to support his family. Even while in school, Shinde was reportedly influenced by the ideologies of Shiv Sena supremo Balasaheb Thackeray. He took a plunge into politics and joined the party as a Sainik, introduced by then Shiv Sena President of the Thane unit – Anand Dighe – in early 1980. He started his career as a la...
