A chance meeting between Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on a Mumbai-Nagpur flight has stirred political tensions in Maharashtra. Thackeray hinted at a significant discussion during the flight, while Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde criticized Thackeray’s statements, emphasizing the importance of loyalty over mere gestures.
Shinde rebuked Thackeray, highlighting the value of loyalty and integrity, especially in light of past political decisions. He pointed out that despite the opportunity to continue the BJP-Sena alliance, they opted for the Congress, a move he deemed disloyal. Shinde also mocked Thackeray’s efforts to salvage the situation through his recent constituency tours.
Despite the uproar, sources clarified that the encounter was coincidental, occurring during a routine flight to Nagpur. The meeting, marked by light-hearted banter, involved no substantial political discussions. Both parties maintained formalities and parted ways upon reaching their destination, with no further interactions reported.
