Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has said that the previous MVA government led by Uddhav Thackeray which had Congress and Shiv Sena as constituents could not take a decision when matters concerning Hindutva or Veer Savarkar or that on Mumbai blasts and underworld don Dawood Ibrahim came up.
In an exclusive interview with ANI, Shinde said they had decided to take further “Hindu Hriday Samrat Balasaheb Thackeray’s ideology.
“We have decided to take our Hindu Hriday Samrat Balasaheb Thackeray’s Hindutva ideology, his role further. If 50 MLAs take such a step, then there must be a big reason for it. Nobody takes such a big decision for small reason. Even a corporator does not take such a decision. Why did 50 MLAs take such a decision? There was a need to think about this,” Shinde said.
Our MLAs faced difficulty in carrying out works in their constituencies as allies were trying to empower those who lost to them. Our MLAs were unable to do development works due to lack of funds…We spoke to seniors but to no avail. So our 40-50 MLAs did this.
“Shiv Sena, BJP contested 2019 assembly elections together but the government was formed with Congress, NCP. Due to this, whenever issues of Hindutva came up, matters relating to Savarkar came up, Mumbai blast issue came up, on Dawood issue came up and other issues when (these) came, we were unable to take a decision,” he added.
