Mumbai: 'Mahabharata' and 'Shri Krishna' have now joined the political battle of Maharashtra. CM Eknath Shinde faction has addressed former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray as Shishupal of Mahabharata. Not only this, Shinde's one-and-a-half-year-old grandson Rudraksha has been described as the 'Shri Krishna' of this Mahabharata. The Shinde faction claims that ever since Rudraksha was born, Uddhav Thackeray's political downfall has begun.

After snatching power in Maharashtra, the Eknath Shinde faction is now fighting for authority over the party (Shiv Sena). Shinde and former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray are seen face-to-face. The Shinde faction has staked claim to the Shiv Sena's 'bow and arrow' symbol ahead of the Andheri East Assembly bypoll. For this, he will meet the Election Commission on Friday. The move is being seen as an attempt to keep the Uddhav Thackeray faction out of the 'bow and arrow' symbol. Meanwhile, the Vijayadashami festival has seen a political show of strength between Uddhav Thackeray and Eknath Shinde faction at Mumbai's BKC ground and Shivaji Park. Both factions have launched very scathing attacks on each other. During this, Uddhav Thackeray targeted Eknath Shinde and his son MP Shrikant Shinde. Thackeray claimed that Eknath Shinde wants all political posts for his family. Now Eknath Shinde is eyeing the post of corporator, which Shinde wants to give to his grandson. After this statement of Uddhav, politics heated up.

Eknath Shinde's grandson Rudraksha is only one and a half years old and now the Shinde faction has also retaliated on this attack of Uddhav Thackeray. Shinde faction spokesperson Naresh Mhaske claimed that Rudraksha is 'Shri Krishna' of Mahabharata, after which 'Shishupala' was born. Like Uddhav Thackeray's political downfall has started. Eknath Shinde at MMRDA Ground said who is the real heir of Balasaheb's thoughts? People will stop asking these questions now. Because this mob has proved who is the real heir. This Shiv Sena is not of Uddhav Thackeray and Eknath Shinde. Rather it is the Shiv Sena of Balasaheb's principles. We have not and will never leave the thoughts of Shiv Sena chief Balasaheb. The real heirs of Balasaheb are the heirs of ideas. Eknath Shinde said that we are being called traitors. There has been a betrayal but the betrayal happened in 2019. Voters of Maharashtra voted for you and BJP in the assembly elections but you cheated the people by colluding with Congress and NCP.
