Uddhav Thackeray targets Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde over farmer woes

The Hindu  

Launching a broadside against the ruling Eknath Shinde-led Mahayuti government, former Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday, while claiming that the Maharashtra government had failed its farmers, exhorting them to display the same determination akin to the farmers currently protesting in north India. Alleging that the Shinde government’s was completely apathetic towards the plight of Maharashtra’s farmers, Mr. Thackeray told farmers in the rally that instead of taking their lives, they ought to show the same determination and grit akin to their brethren protesting in the north today. However, the farmers of Maharashtra are silently bearing the injustice of this government,” Mr. Thackeray, whose MVA government had been toppled by Mr. Shinde’s revolt in June 2022, said. Attacking PM Modi, Mr. Thackeray said the former had forgotten the time when his father – late Sena founder Bal Thackeray – had ‘saved’ Mr. Modi by supporting him while the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had not wanted him as CM of Gujarat in the wake of the Godhra riots.
