Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray alleged that Devendra Fadnavis promised to groom his son Aaditya as the next Maharashtra CM in 2019. Thackeray stated Fadnavis assured him of sharing the CM post between BJP and Sena-undivided for 2.5 years. Fadnavis refuted the claim, labeling Thackeray’s statements as hallucinations and falsehoods. Thackeray criticized Fadnavis for disrespecting Bal Thackeray’s room, equating it to a temple. Eknath Shinde accused Thackeray of lying, citing his past political moves. The spat underscores ongoing tensions within Maharashtra’s political landscape.
