The Shiv Sena criticized Bacchu Kadu, a former minister and MLA from Amravati, for his recent political actions. Kadu’s merger with the Eknath Shinde faction was labeled as a strategic move rather than genuine social service. The party accused Kadu of opportunism, highlighting his symbolic surrender and subsequent nomination to the Legislative Council by Shinde.
The editorial traced Kadu’s transition from a social activist to a career politician, emphasizing his shifting allegiances for political gains. Despite earlier claims of not compromising for an MLA post, Kadu’s actions contradicted his words. The Shiv Sena pointed out the irony in Kadu’s behavior, labeling him as a “Shinde-dweller” and questioning the authenticity of his political motives.
According to the editorial, Kadu’s actions symbolize the deteriorating state of politics, particularly in Maharashtra. It criticized the BJP’s strategy of attracting leaders like Kadu, indicating a trend of defections from other parties. The editorial concluded by highlighting the disparity between Kadu’s political pursuits and the welfare of the marginalized communities he claims to represent.
