Don't take me lightly: Eknath Shinde amid rift rumours with Devendra Fadnavis

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde warned his detractors against taking him lightly amid speculation of a widening chasm between the Shiv Sena chief and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Shinde, who has been skipping meetings called by Fadnavis, asserted that he overturned the incumbent government when he was taken lightly in 2022, referring to the fall of the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA regime. The remark came after Fadnavis put on hold a Rs 900 crore project in Jalna that was approved during Shinde's tenure as Chief Minister. GROWING RIFT BETWEEN SHINDE, FADNAVIS Sources had previously told India Today that Shinde seemed to be avoiding sharing the stage with Fadnavis and had skipped several meetings called by the Chief Minister.
