Thackeray allegedly sought Modi's help against investigations

Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has made a significant claim about former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. He stated that Thackeray bowed down before Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking help from investigating agencies. Shinde alleged that Thackeray traveled to Delhi to discuss forming a coalition government but changed his mind upon returning to Maharashtra. He criticized Thackeray's party, the Shiv Sena UBT, for abandoning the values of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and aligning with the Congress party. According to Shinde, the Shiv Sena UBT does not have the right to speak about Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, as they have accepted ideas associated with Aurangzeb. He emphasized that his group has not been tempted by power, stating their focus remains on addressing the issues affecting the people who supported them.
