"Uddhav Thackeray Should Not Teach Us Loyalty": Maharashtra's Eknath Shinde

Amid the controversy over ‘Santana Dharma' in the country, Chief Minister of Maharashtra Eknath Shinde has slammed the opposition alliance INDIA and former Chief Minister of Maharashtra Uddhav Thackeray on the matter.

Chief Minister Eknath Shinde had visited the Krishna Janmashtami celebration in Thane when he spoke to the media and said “Leaders of INDIA have united against Hindus, now their faces against Hinduism have been exposed. Former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray is silent on this matter. Everyone saw his loyalty, for power he sold loyalty, he sold Balasaheb's thoughts, he should not teach us loyalty,” Eknath Shinde said.

Further speaking on the Maratha reservation controversy in the state, the Chief Minister has said that our government is committed to providing the reservation to the Maratha community.

“The government is very serious about the Maratha reservation. Reservation was given when Devendra Fadnavis was the Chief Minister but that reservation was rejected by the High Court during the Maha Vikas Aghadi government. Our government is committed to giving reservations to Marathas. The government will work to show the court that the Maratha community is socially backward.”

This comes after a clash between police and protesters in Jalna, where the protestors were demanding reservation for the Marathas. Police had resorted to a lathi charge to disperse the protesters.

Although the Maharashtra government issued an apology on Monday for the lathi charge on protestors in Jalna, the opposition has been pressurising the government on the issue demanding Mr Shinde's resignation.

"Lathicharge by police was not right... I am apologising on behalf of the Government. Chief Minister has said that the action will be taken against those who are responsible for it," said Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
