Uddhav Thackeray launched a blistering criticism against the current NDA government led by Eknath Shinde in Maharashtra. On July 9, the former chief minister expressed his dismay, stating that the state was being governed by traitors and individuals who were unable to address the needs of the people. He further lamented the significant decline in the standard of politics.

"Traitors and helpless people are running the government in Maharashtra. The level of politics has fallen, because of which Maharashtra is being seen as a state of traitors and helpless people. We will not allow this to happen," ANI quoted Thackeray as saying while addressing a public rally in Yavatmal.

Uddhav made reference to a recent statement by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a rally in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, where he accused the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) of being involved in a corruption scandal amounting to ？70,000 crores. Uddhav pointed out that now PM Modi himself would be associated with those he had previously labeled as corrupt.

Uddhav Thackeray, in a critical statement, expressed his disappointment over PM Modi's perceived silence regarding the situation in Manipur. Uddhav highlighted that while PM Modi was actively engaged in election campaigning in Madhya Pradesh, he had not addressed the ongoing issues in the Northeastern state.

"If you have the courage, send ED, CBI and Income Tax to Manipur. Those who are burning Manipur will automatically join your party," Thackeray said.

Earlier, in yet another setback to the Sena (UBT) chief, Neelam Gorhe, who was the deputy chairperson of Maharashtra Legislative Council, jumped to the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena on Friday in Mumbai.

The Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC member joined the rival faction in the presence of CM Shinde and his deputy Devendra Fadnavis.

Earlier, in a shocking turn of events, Ajit Pawar and Chhagan Bhujbal, along with 6 fellow NCP MLAs, joined the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government on July 3.

In 2022, Shinde, then a minister in the MVA government, staged a silent coup in the undivided Sena after floating a rival faction with a band of loyalist MLAs.

The MVA government, which was reduced to a minority in the wake of Shinde's rebellion, collapsed after losing a floor test in the Assembly.

Shinde eventually took oath as the chief minister with support from the BJP.
