'Failed Double Engine Govt Now Has...': Aaditya Thackeray's 'Crucial Points' After Ajit Pawar's Move Splits NCP
Aaditya Thackeray said without going into the 'depths of the dirty politics', he will comment on four major points that he noted.
New Delhi: Former Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray on Sunday said the political development in Maharashtra in the wake of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar joining the state government once again shows that chief minister Eknath Shinde is incompetent. He said without going into the 'depths of the dirty politics', Thackeray said he will comment on four major points that he noted.
Speaking about Eknath Shinde’s rebellion last year, that led to the collapse of the government headed by his father Uddhav Thackeray, he said those who went with Shinde did not get any ministerial berth while nine NCP leaders took oath on Sunday.
“The failed double engine government in Maharashtra now has a third wheel. Now it’s over a year but the original Gaddaars dreaming desperately of a cabinet berth today, sat there watching 9 others take oath, but none could be ministers again,” Aaditya Thackeray tweeted.
Without going into the depths of the dirty politics currently underway in our state, a few crucial points to note:

1) The failed double engine government in Maharashtra now has a third wheel.
Now it’s over a year but the original Gaddaars dreaming desperately of a cabinet…
Aaditya Thackeray further noted that as the Shiv Sena MLAs, who went with Eknath Shinde last year, leaving Uddhav, had claimed that they were miffed with the Maha Vikas Aghadi, that is the alliance of the Sena with the Congress and the NCP. However, he asked how is it that those “Sena traitors” had to quietly welcome NCP MLAs to the government.
“The original Gaddaars backstabbed us on the pretext that NCP leaders and ministers from their districts didn’t let them work. Today, the same ones from NCP blamed for being roadblocks, be it in Raigad or Nashik or other districts, were sworn in as Cabinet Ministers… those original Gaddaars complaining against them had to quietly welcome them,” he wrote.
He further observed that a year of the Shinde-Fadnavis government and the induction of the NCP group only shows that Eknath Shinde is as incompetent a leader as ever.
He also cited the allegation against his father that by allying with the NCP and the Congress, Shiv Sena distanced itself from Balasaheb Thackeray's ideology of Hindutva. Referring to those allegations, Aaditya Thackeray questioned the induction of the same NCP leaders in the government.
“Most importantly, we were blamed by the BJP and the Gaddaars for distancing from Hindutva and our ideologies because we allied politically with the INC and NCP. What has the Mindhe (Eknath Shinde) gang and BJP distanced itself from today? Especially when their immoral and illegal alliance needed no legislative numbers to prove majority,” he wrote.
“It’s clear from today’s politics that the fight is going to be selfish vs principled. Those who have gone, have only gone for selfish reasons, and we will fight for selfless and principled politics,” he added.
