Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde just slammed the new political team up between the Thackeray cousins.  He called it a selfish partnership made from desperation, not a real union for the people.  Shinde leads the Shiv Sena faction that identifies as the true heir to Balasaheb Thackeray's legacy.

He argued this alliance is only about saving their own political skins and grabbing power, contrasting it with his own ruling Mahayuti coalition, which he says works for the state.  Shinde fired back at a joke about political child lifters, suggesting the Thackeray groups should learn to take care of their own party workers first.  He questioned why the cousins split the Marathi vote for twenty years, only coming together now that they are losing relevance.

Shinde also promoted his own agenda, highlighting work toward a slum free Mumbai and promising affordable city housing to bring people back from satellite towns.  His spokesperson, Manisha Kayande, downplayed the Thackeray event as just a photo op that does not fix past failures in Mumbai's civic administration.
