In the politics of Maharashtra, where the tussle is seen more these days, a different view was seen in the Vidhan Bhavan campus on Monday. The small conversation between Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and BJP MLC Praveen Darekar caught everyone’s attention. The two leaders are politically considered opposed to each other.
The incident occurred when the monsoon session of the assembly was going on. Darekar submitted a report to Uddhav Thackeray which was associated with a Swapunvikas project. The matter started with the report, but soon the atmosphere became lighter and informal conversation between the two leaders started.
I am 100 percent Shiv Sainik- Darekar
During this, Praveen Darekar described himself as “100 percent Shiv Sainik” of Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray. Hearing this, Thackeray smiled and said a pinch and said that “Then tell those fake Shiv Sainiks to be honest. If you are really working in the interest of Marathi people, we can work together, but for that you will have to return to Shiv Sena.”
Significantly, Darekar was first in the Shiv Sena, then he joined MNS and is now in BJP. Thackeray’s statement was clearly taunted on the Shiv Sena faction, which is now with Deputy CM Eknath Shinde.
Uddhav Thackeray further said, “If your intentions are clear, I am always ready for the conversation.” To this, Darekar also laughed and replied, “Absolutely, let us all come together again.”
All the workers who saw this dialogue were also surprised and happy. Because in June 2022, there is a continuous political rhetoric between the BJP and the Thackeray faction since the Shiv Sena was torn apart. In such an environment, this short moment looked like a little coolness amidst political heat.
Ever since Maha Vikas Aghadi was formed in 2019, BJP and Shiv Sena (UBT) had become strict opponents of each other. But the way in this conversation, the way the laughter and old relationships were seen, it shows that the doors in politics are never completely closed.
