Uddhav Thackeray and his cousin Raj Thackeray have come together after a estrangement of more than two decades amid Marathi vs Hindi controversy. Last week, both of them held a rally and raised their hands on the stage and gave the message that we are together. This unity raised questions about the Shiv Sena with Eknath Shinde faction as to what will happen to him now. The reason is that Shinde Sena is also doing Marathi card politics and now the Thackeray brothers are with us on this issue. In such a situation, Eknath Shinde has also made a big bet. On the front of Marathi unity, Dalits have gone to vote. Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar’s grandson Anandraj Ambedkar’s party has joined hands with the Republican army.
The Shiv Sena of Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has tied up with Anandraj Ambedkar’s Republican Army. Shinde and Ambedkar announced the alliance by holding a joint press conference. Eknath Shinde said that the two forces are coming together. That’s why today is a very happy day. He said, ‘Two organizations fighting against injustice on the roads are coming together today. One is Shiv Sena of Balasaheb and the other is Bharat Ratna Babasaheb Ambedkar’s Republican Army. Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde expressed confidence that we would work together. Anandraj Ambedkar, sitting next to him, said that our unity will definitely have an impact. Shinde said that Anandraj Ambedkar and I have always worked as a worker. When I was the Chief Minister for two and a half years, I was still a common man. Now I am dedicated to the common man again as Deputy Chief Minister. He said that it is our identity to be a common man and common worker. Our commitment is to the common man. Our relationship is related to the common man.
I could become CM because of Ambedkar: Shinde said that the Constitution of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar has paved the way for the progress of common man, underprivileged and exploited. The common man like me could become the Chief Minister. This was possible only due to the constitution written by Babasaheb. A person like Narendra Modi became Prime Minister. This power is of the constitution. Babasaheb wrote his constitution after studying many constitutions of the world. The two leaders announced that the Shiv Sena and the Republican army would contest the upcoming Municipal Corporation and Zilla Parishad elections together.
Giving the slogan of Shiva Shakti and the unity of Bhim Shakti, Shinde spoke of forming Shiv Shakti-Bhim Shakti alliance. Along with Marathi votes, he is trying to help Dalit votes. Let me tell you that Prakash Ambedkar, another grandson of Bhimrao Ambedkar, is also in politics, but his party is different, whose name is Bahujan deprived Aghadi.
