New Delhi: The Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Agadhi (MVA) government is facing its worst political crisis in Maharashtra with “rebel” Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde, who is said to be camping in Gujarat, saying that he “will never cheat” for power. Taking to his official Twitter account amid reports of him and some 21 Shiv Sena MLAs going incommunicado, Shinde said that he is a “Balasaheb Thackeray’s Shiv Sainik” and that he will never betray the ideals of the Shiv Sena founder.
“We are Balasaheb’s staunch Shiv Sainiks … Balasaheb has taught us Hindutva .. We have never and will never cheat for power regarding Balasaheb’s thoughts and Dharmaveer Anand Dighe Saheb’s teachings,” Shinde, the Maharashtra Cabinet Minister of Urban Development and PWD, said .
