Union Home Minister, Amit Shah has fired a shot at both Sharad Pawar of the NCP and Uddhav Thackeray of the Shiv Sena, saying the assembly poll results have made both these leaders clear where they stand. Shah further stated that people of Maharashtra have rejected in unequivocal terms any element of betrayal and dynasty politics that both leaders were practising.
He said that Sharad Pawar started his political journey in 1978 with the philosophy of daga-phatka ( betrayal and Treachery), which was also not accepted by the people in the 2024 elections. Likewise, the politics of dynastic rule and alleged betrayal by Uddhav Thackeray were equally defeated by the voters, according to Shah. ”The people of Maharashtra have teaches lesson to Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray,” he said, stressing the victory of the ideology supported by the current Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde and NCP led by Ajit Pawar.
Shah also noted that the Maharashtra voters disapproved of the politics of the dynasty and the betrayal that both Thackeray and Pawar were accused of. He also underlined the emergence of Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, which he said was the real Shiv Sena of Balasaheb Thackeray and Ajit Pawar’s faction, claiming that it was the real NCP party.
The Maharashtra assembly elections were disastrous for the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), winning only 16 out of the 288 assembly constituencies. The Bahujan Vikas Aghadi chief Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena UBT could manage only 20 seats, while the Sharad Pawar faction of NCP got only 10 seats. The loss also revealed tendencies that showed that these two leaders were becoming less and less influential in the state.
Amit Shah was equally optimistic about the BJP’s prospects in the forthcoming Delhi assembly polls and rubbished the opposition’s INDIA alliance.
