Maharashtra Election Results 2024: The rebel faction of Eknath Shinde, which has pitched the electoral battle as an acid test of "who is the real Shiv Sena" has lost no time to announce it as an ideological victory.
The Maha Vikas Aghadi's impending defeat in Maharashtra is expected to lie the heaviest on the shoulders of former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, who in a span of three years, not only lost power in the state and his party, but apparently, also the legacy of his father Balasaheb Thackeray. The rebel faction of Eknath Shinde, which accused Mr Thackeray of trading in his father's principles for power and pitched the electoral battle as a test of "Who is the real Shiv Sena", has lost no time to announce it as an ideological victory.
Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's son Shrikant Shinde was among the first to declare it so, with a swipe at Uddhav Thackeray. "Shiv Sena is not a private limited company... people have shown who is taking Balasaheb's ideals forward," said Shrikant Shinde, whose father had cited Mr Thackeray's alliance with the Congress and Sharad Pawar -- traditional rivals of the Sena -- to explain his rebellion in 2021.
His comments, though, struck an incongrous note, coming amid the declarations of the BJP - which, with an eye on the top post, attributed the victory to the ruling alliance's work on development and welfare and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.
