BJP senior leader Devendra Fadnavis made a pointed remark about former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray during a recent political event in Maharashtra.
During a recent political gathering in Maharashtra, senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) figure Devendra Fadnavis directed a sharp comment at former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray. The remark, described as a jab, was aimed at the leader of the Shiv Sena, who served as Maharashtra's chief minister from 2019 to 2022.
Fadnavis, a former chief minister himself, used the opportunity to criticize Thackeray's political stance, though the exact wording of the comment was not disclosed in the source. The exchange underscores the continuing rivalry between the BJP and Shiv Sena factions in the state.
Political analysts note that such public remarks often reflect deeper strategic positioning ahead of upcoming electoral contests in Maharashtra. Both parties continue to vie for influence over the state's voter base, especially in the wake of recent intra‑party realignments.
No official response from Thackeray or the Shiv Sena has been reported as of now, and the incident remains a talking point among Maharashtra's political circles.
