Amit Shah's dig at the election results: ‘People in Maharashtra showed Sharad Pawar, Uddhav Thackeray their place’

Amit Shah's dig at the election results: Union Home Minister Amit Shah made fun of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray and NCP (SP) leader Sharad Pawar on Sunday, saying that the results of the Maharashtra assembly election demonstrated their position.

"Sharad Pawar started politics of 'daga-phatka' (betrayal and treachery) in Maharashtra in 1978, which was rejected by people in 2024 (elections). Similarly, the politics of the dynasty and the betrayal of Uddhav Thackeray was also rejected. People showed Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray their place in 2024 polls," Shah said.

He also said that the state “rejected the politics of dynasty” and “betrayal” by Pawar and Thackeray.

"People of Maharashtra showed that Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena is Balasaheb's Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar's faction is the real NCP. People of Maharashtra have also rejected politics of betrayal of Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray," the home minister said.

Shah added that he was certain of winning the next assembly elections in Delhi, claiming that the opposition's INDIA bloc's confidence had been destroyed by the loss in Maharashtra.

Amit Shah was previously praised by Maharashtra chief Devendra Fadnavis for the party's performance in Maharashtra.

“After the Lok Sabha election results, the party was demoralised, and workers were confused about what went wrong in Maharashtra. That time, Union Minister Amit Shah visited, spoke to thousands of workers, and motivated them with the belief that despite defeat, victory was ahead,” he said.

"The party rose and delivered that victory (in Assembly polls). I am truly grateful to Amit Shah Ji."
