Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray criticized the central government led by the BJP, highlighting the migration of businesses from Maharashtra to Gujarat and the diminishing significance of Mumbai. He attributed this decline to the influence of “two people sitting in Delhi”.
Thackeray, addressing a gathering of senior Shiv Sena members, pointed out the BJP’s attempts to weaken Shiv Sena in 2014 and 2019, emphasizing the need to safeguard the party’s future. He expressed concern over the increasing shift of businesses to Gujarat, further eroding Mumbai’s stature.
In addition, Thackeray responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s criticism of Sharad Pawar, accusing the PM of neglecting farmers’ welfare and questioning his contributions in this regard. He inquired about the actions taken to address the issues faced by farmers and referred to the protests against agricultural laws in the northern regions, insinuating that the laws were eventually repealed due to these demonstrations.
Sharad Pawar, former Agriculture Minister during the UPA government, responded to PM Modi’s remarks by asserting the importance of maintaining the dignity of the Prime Minister’s post. He also suggested that the PM’s comments may have been prompted by a fear of losing power.
Furthermore, Pawar explained the challenges he faced during his tenure as Agriculture Minister, addressing PM Modi’s remarks about his term in office.
