Maharashtra poltics: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut has launched a scathing attack on Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Sunday (March 02, 2025). In fact, Shinde criticized Uddhav Thackeray for not joining Mahakumbh, on which Raut retaliated and asked why the absence of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat was not questioned.
Raut said that Shinde should first ask this question to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat. If Bhagwat, as a Hindu, has not gone to take a dip in Kumbh, then why is Uddhav Thackeray being targeted?
Raut raised questions on the history of RSS
Raut said that the founder and prominent leaders of the Sangh were never seen participating in a Kumbh. He gave Dr. K.K. B. Hedgewar, M.S. Golwalkar, Balasaheb Deoras, Rajju Bhaiya and K.K. Taking the name of Sudarshan, he said that none of these never went to Kumbh. He also added that Hindutva thinker Vinayak Damodar Savarkar also never attended the Kumbh Mela.
“Publicity stunt” told Modi’s Kumbh tour
Sanjay Raut also questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Kumbh and said that it was just a promotional strategy. Raut took a sarcasm and said, “Did Modi ever go to a Kumbh before becoming Prime Minister? This is just a publicity stunt.” Raut also mentioned former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and said that he had participated in Mahakumbh, but how many ministers or MLAs of his cabinet were present there?
Please tell that the politics of Hindutva has come into the discussion again due to not being involved in Mahakumbh. The news of dissatisfaction in the Mahayuti government has stepped up the stir in the politics of Maharashtra. The future of Shiv Sena is seen hanging in the balance due to tension between Shinde and Thackeray faction. Now it will be interesting to see if Shinde will be fully involved in the BJP? Or Shiv Sena (UBT) will be able to return to Maharashtra?.
