On the contrary, even during the petitions filed in the Supreme Court, the opposition was hit," said Eknath Shinde.

Eknath Shinde was asked whether the decision of the BJP leadership was shocking for you too. Speaking on that, Shinde said "people were of the view that BJP does anything for power. However, after we 50 MLAs took the role of Hindutva and development, BJP has given a different message to the entire country by supporting me for the post of Chief Minister."

The 2019 assembly elections were fought in alliance with the BJP. But after the election, we came to power in alliance with the Congress and the NCP. Therefore, we could not take a stand on Hindutva, Swatantryaveer Savarkar. "We could not openly take a stand against the notorious goon Dawood Ibrahim," Shinde said.

"In the meantime, we haven't done anything illegal. We are abiding by the constitution, laws and rules of the country. lucts & services We have numbers. A petition has been filed against us in the Supreme Court. We have our side" he added. Eknath Shinde also said that during the hearing on the petition, it was seen that the Supreme Court had slapped the petitioners well.
