Fadnavis Mocks Uddhav Over Party Split Following Regime Change Remark
· India · Times of India, News18
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday hit back at Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray for supporting calls for a regime change in India, noting that Thackeray failed to prevent a split within his own party. Speaking in Nagpur, Fadnavis attributed the June 2022 party turmoil to the abandonment of Balasaheb Thackeray's Hindutva ideology by Thackeray's faction. The chief minister asserted that any government transition in India must occur through democratic elections rather than street protests. Fadnavis expressed confidence that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration would return to power in 2029 and dismissed comparisons to recent youth-led uprisings in neighbouring countries like Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
Why it matters
The exchange underscores deepening political animosity between rival Shiv Sena factions and the ruling coalition ahead of upcoming electoral battles, highlighting starkly opposing views on political dissent and constitutional governance.
