Shiv Sena chairperson and Maharashtra deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde<\/a> launched a blistering attack on his former party head rival Uddhav Thackeray as well as Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during the ruling outfit\u2019s annual Dussehra rally, invoking the late Balasaheb Thackeray to underline his point.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reacting sharply to Gandhi\u2019s criticism of Hindutva ideologue Veer Savarkar, Shinde said such remarks were \u201ccompletely unacceptable”. Taking a direct swipe at Uddhav, he declared: \u201cHad Balasaheb been alive today and seen you supporting these statements against Savarkar, he would have hung you upside down without a second thought.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Continuing his tirade, Shinde accused Thackeray of betraying his father\u2019s Hindutva legacy for the lure of power. \u201cWhat you are doing every day is destroying Balasaheb\u2019s ideology. He never accepted the Congress or its ideology, but you stooped to the lowest level to become chief minister and joined hands with forces Balasaheb would have never tolerated,” Shinde charged. He further alleged that by aligning with the Congress, Uddhav had abandoned his Hindutva agenda and turned into a \u201cdouble-faced Hindu”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shinde also hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s firm stance against Pakistan, especially after recent attacks on Indian citizens in Pahalgam. Expressing pride that his son, MP Shrikant Shinde, was part of an international delegation that highlighted India\u2019s fight against terrorism, he said: \u201cIf there is a true lion in the country, it is Narendra Modi. He had the courage to give a befitting reply to Pakistan, while leaders like Rahul Gandhi question the bravery of our soldiers and make headlines in Pakistan.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Beginning his address by recalling the relief work done by Shiv Sena workers during the recent floods, Shinde contrasted the NDA\u2019s support for Maharashtra with what he called the Congress-UPA\u2019s neglect. \u201cDuring UPA rule, the state barely received Rs 2 lakh crore in assistance. But under Modi ji and Amit Shah, Maharashtra has received over Rs 10 lakh crore in the last decade,” he claimed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The deputy CM also took credit for fast-tracking infrastructure projects stalled under the Uddhav-led government. \u201cWhen I joined hands with Devendra Fadnavis, we were able to remove hurdles and push ahead projects like the Metro. After the 2024 victory, this is only the beginning of our second innings<\/span>\u2014more development is on the way,” he promised.<\/span><\/p>\n

With fiery rhetoric invoking Balasaheb\u2019s name and sharp barbs at both Congress and the Thackeray faction, Shinde made it clear that his Shiv Sena intends to keep Hindutva and development as its twin planks going forward.<\/span><\/p>\n
