Mumbai Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde is seen walking on the path of Hindutva. The latest example of this was found last night. When Shinde and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis met RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat in Mumbai. Shinde honored Bhagwat by wearing a shawl. Bhagwat presented books to Shinde and Fadnavis on the occasion. Talking to the media after meeting the Sangh chief, Eknath Shinde said that we have met the RSS chief in the capacity of Maharashtra CM and Deputy CM. He said that we have met him many times before.
Eknath Shinde while giving more information about the meeting with Mohan Bhagwat said that we have formed the government in Maharashtra on the ideology of Hindutva. That’s why we went to seek blessings from Bhagwat. Shinde said that by doing this we are also taking forward the ideology of Balasaheb Thackeray, who was the chief of Shiv Sena. Let us inform that Eknath Shinde had alleged during the rebellion with Uddhav Thackeray that the Shiv Sena had abandoned Hindutva because of the Mahavikas Aghadi government. Shinde and his fellow MLAs had said that this is the reason why they have come closer to the BJP.

Eknath Shinde has created great difficulties for Uddhav Thackeray in recent times. Shiv Sena has 38 MLAs in support of Shinde. At the same time, about 14 MPs are also with him. Uddhav has filed an application against this in the Lok Sabha Speaker and the Election Commission, but the way Shinde is getting stronger, there is a possibility of Shiv Sena’s symbol slipping from Uddhav’s hand. The Election Commission has sought answers and evidence from both the sides. If Eknath Shinde proves that a large section of the party is with him, then Uddhav’s politics may get a big setback.
