Eknath Shinde said that Uddhav formed an alliance with Congress against the will of Balasaheb Thackeray just to serve his "personal interests".
Days ahead of the upcoming assembly polls, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde accused Uddhav Thackeray of being the reason behind the split in Shiv Sena and said that the Mahavikas Aghadi government was against Balasaheb Thackeray's ideals while the Shiv Sena and BJP's alliance was the right way forward.
Justifying the split in the party, Shinde said that Uddhav formed an alliance with Congress against the will of Balasaheb Thackeray just to serve his "personal interests" and hence, following the party's discipline and to bring change, he formed a coalition with the BJP.
In an exclusive interview with ANI, speaking in the split in the party, CM Shinde said, "I was part of the Mahavikas Aghadi government, but the government that was formed, it was against Balasaheb Thackeray's ideals. Shiv Sena and BJP's alliance was the right way forward. However, Uddhav Thackeray's personal interests led to an alliance with Congress, which Balasaheb never wanted."
