The Bharatiya Janata Party and Shiv Sena took a swipe at Uddhav Thackeray over his last row seating at Rahul Gandhi\u2019s dinner meeting, prompting a war of words with Shiv Sena UBT, which said that their leader was made to sit in the front, but he moved back on his own.<\/p>\n

Rahul Gandhi had held a presentation in front of the Opposition leaders at a dinner meet over alleged electoral fraud by the Election Commission of India.<\/p>\n

In the picture shared by Maharashtra BJP, Uddhav, his son Aaditya, and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut were seen sitting in the last row, as Rahul Gandhi gave a presentation on the screen.<\/p>\n

Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde mocked Uddhav and said that Congress had shown Thackerays their place.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who give up their self-respect and abandon Bal Thackeray\u2019s ideals won\u2019t feel anything about this insult. Congress has shown them their place,” Shinde said.<\/p>\n

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis took a jibe at Uddhav, stating that when he was a part of the NDA, he was always made to sit in the front row.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us, his respect always came before our own. We have realised what kind of respect and honour he gets there,” Fadnavis said.<\/p>\n

Fadnavis pointed out that Uddhav often said he would never bow before Delhi.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook at the situation now\u2014they\u2019re not even in power. It\u2019s sad. When he was with us, he always sat in the front row,” he added.<\/p>\n

The Maharashtra BJP also mocked Shiv Sena UBT leaders in the picture.<\/p>\n

\u201cFind and show the self-respect in this photo,” the post captioned.<\/p>\n

Responding to the BJP, Raut said Uddhav had a front-row seat but moved back to see the presentation screen more clearly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were sitting in the front, but the TV screen was straining our eyes, so we shifted to the back. Look at other photos of Uddhav ji \u2014 Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi welcomed him and his family to their home,” the Rajya Sabha MP said.<\/p>\n
