Amit Shah (ANI photo) NEW DELHI: As Maharashtra assembly elections draw nearer, Union home minister Amit Shah on Wednesday launched a strong attack on the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance, calling it an “Aurangzeb fan club” and alleging that its leaders are against the interests of Maharashtra. During a campaign rally at Maharashtra's Dhule, Shah said that the MVA alliance — which includes the Congress, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Sena, and Sharad Pawar's NCP — stands in opposition to key initiatives, including the renaming of Aurangabad, the Ram temple construction , the abrogation of Article 370, and surgical strikes against Pakistan. “Mahayuti means ‘Vikas’ (development) and Aghadi means ‘Vinash’ (destruction).
You have to decide whether to bring to power those who drive development or those who cause destruction,” Shah said. Amit Shah further accused Uddhav Thackeray of abandoning the principles of Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray. "To gain power, Uddhav ji has forgotten all the principles of Balasaheb Thackeray.
Uddhav babu, who are you sitting with today? Today, you are with those who objected to the renaming of Aurangabad, the construction of Ram temple, the abrogation of Article 370 and also to surgical strike against Pakistan. There are two clear sides in front of people of Maharashtra - Aghadi, which is the Aurangzeb fan club , and the other is Mahayuti which follows the principles of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Veer Savarkar," h.
