Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde addressed a gathering today on the occasion of Shiv Sena Foundation Day, expressing his gratitude for the support received and emphasizing the party's unwavering commitment to its core principles. Speaking passionately, Shinde hailed the previous year as a time of revolution and credited the resilience and bravery of the Shiv Sena for the accomplishments achieved.
Acknowledging the challenges faced by the party, Shinde stated, "It takes Tiger's courage to do what we did a year ago." He underscored that his role as Chief Minister had not changed him and took the opportunity to address recent criticism from certain quarters within the political spectrum.
Referring to the upcoming celebration of "traitors day" by his detractors, Shinde asserted that those who had deviated from the ideology of Shiv Sena and aligned with the Congress and NCP to form the Maha Vikas Aghadi government were the true traitors. He made it clear that those who had betrayed the trust of the voters would not receive any sympathy.
Highlighting the significance of Shiv Sena's contributions, Shinde declared, "We saved the bow and arrow and the name of Shiv Sena." He further assured the public that the government was steadfastly dedicated to the welfare of the people, working tirelessly to improve their lives.
The celebration of Shiv Sena Foundation Day in Mumbai was attended by party members and supporters who gathered to commemorate the party's founding and reaffirm their commitment to its ideology. The event showcased the continued strength and unity of Shiv Sena, underlining their determination to protect the legacy of their late leader, Balasaheb Thackeray.
Shiv Sena, founded in 1966 by Balasaheb Thackeray, has played a prominent role in Maharashtra politics and has been a major force in the state's governance since the formation of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government in 2019. The party has consistently advocated for the welfare and interests of the people of Maharashtra, striving to create a prosperous and harmonious society.
As the Shiv Sena Foundation Day celebrations concluded, the words of CM Eknath Shinde resonated with the attendees, reaffirming their commitment to the party's ideology and igniting a renewed sense of purpose within the Shiv Sena ranks.
