“My Heir Will Be My Son”: Eknath Shinde’s Dig At Uddhav Thackeray

Eknath Shinde

Shinde sharply attacked on Thackeray with a tweet implying that the legacy of Sena founder Bal Thackeray doesn’t necessarily have to pass on to his son

Mumbai: Shortly before the Dussehra Melava begins, CM Eknath Shinde took a dig at former CM Uddhav Thackeray. He sharply attacked on Thackeray with a tweet implying that the legacy of Sena founder Bal Thackeray doesn’t necessarily have to pass on to his son. In his tweet he quoted renowned poet Harivanshrai Bachchan.

“My son will not be my heir by being my son; whoever is my heir will be my son – Harivanshrai Bachchan,” wrote the Maharashtra Chief Minister.

Both sides have been trading digs and posting video previews in the build-up to the Dussehra rallies to be held barely 10 km apart in Mumbai.

The Shinde Group and Thackeray Group have made extraordinary plans to gather crowds at their Dussehra Melava. Both groups have spent crores in the mobilization of activists. Thousands of activists are traveling to Mumbai across the state. Amid this, a clash took place at Mumbai Nashik Highway between workers of the Shinde faction and the Thackeray faction.

Women Shiv Sainiks accused Shinde group workers of making obscene remarks from a moving vehicle. After this, women Shiv Sainiks stopped the Shinde group’s cars and demanded an answer.

At this time, the Thackeray group workers took the Shinde group workers out of the car and slapped them. While the need for reconciliation is being expressed by both the groups, such a picture is not seen.

For the first time since the Shiv Sena’s inception 56 years ago, two Dussehra rallies will be held in Mumbai on Wednesday evening by the party’s rival factions — led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and his predecessor Uddhav Thackeray — in what is being billed as a show of strength by both camps after a change in government in June.
