Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde expressed dismay over the ‘Gaddar’ word used against him by Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders. While speaking to ANI, he said that out of greed to become the Chief Minister Uddhav Thackrey betrayed the people, BJP, and Balasaheb Thackrey’s ideology. "The words used for me are applied to them. In 2019, they abandoned the ideology of Balasaheb Thackeray...They sold the ideology of their father. They committed a sin and the public will never forgive them...In 2019, they betrayed their friend and the people of Maharashtra. They betrayed the ideology of Balasaheb Thackeray. When we contested elections together, Shiv Sena and the BJP had the same ideology. People believed that there would be an alliance government and that is why they voted. But out of greed for the CM post, they went ahead with Congress and Sharad Pawar. This is betrayal...I don't use the kind of words they use. Balasaheb Thackeray and Anand Dighe didn't teach me that," said Eknath Shinde.
