Amit Shah says Bal Thackeray wouldve hugged PM Modi over Op Sindoor; Sena (UBT) hits back
Union Home Minister Amit Shah claimed on Monday that had Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray been alive, he would have hugged Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the success of 'Operation Sindoor'. Addressing a public event in Maharashtra's Nanded, Shah slammed the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT), saying it mocked the multi-party delegations visiting partner countries to convey India's message of zero tolerance against terrorism as 'baraat' (wedding party). Had Balasaheb Thackeray been alive, he would have hugged Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the success of Operation Sindoor, he said at a public event in Maharashtra's Nanded. The Centre has sent seven multi-party delegations to visit 33 global capitals to reach out to the international community on Pakistan's designs and India's response to terror. I don't know what has happened to the Uddhav Sena. They are calling the delegations a baraat even though their own members are a part of it, said Shah, who is on a two-day tour of Maharashtra. Later, Ambadas Danve of Sena (UBT) retorted that Bal Thackeray would not have allowed those who etrayed the Shiv Sena even to his doorstep. Bal Thackeray would have asked, 'Where are those six (terrorists) who killed Hindus by asking their religion?'. He also would have asked when the country was united, who put pressure to declare a ceasefire with Pakistan, he wrote on X. Danve also targeted Shah for mentioning the Marathwada Water Grid during his address. The file concerning the project was sent to the Centre for approval. Shah forgot to tell what happened with this file later. For the past ten years, the BJP has been speaking about getting water from the Konkan and Krishna basin to Marathwada. But not a single drop has come to the region, Danve added. The Shiv Sena and the BJP were allies in the state for decades before parting ways in 2019. After the Sena split in 2022, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde got its name and symbol. While the Shiv Sena under Shinde is a part of the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, the Uddhav faction is a partner in the opposition bloc Maha Vikas Aghadi.

Amit Shah talks tough on terrorism, vows to end Naxalism by 2026
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday kick-started the campaign for the much-awaited local body elections in Maharashtra by asserting that Operation Sindoor, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sent a strong message not only to Pakistan but to the entire world. Shah emphasized that no one should trouble the Indian Army, its people, or its bordersotherwise, they will face serious consequences. While addressing a rally in Nandedthe hometown of former Chief Minister Ashok ChavanShah continued: We are committed to protecting India's borders and safeguarding its citizens. There will be no compromise on the countrys security. The Home Minister said that under PM Modis leadership, India has emerged as a strong nation. We are moving steadily toward becoming a developed nation by 2047. We will respond forcefully to any attempts to destabilize us. Amit Shah went on to highlight Indias strengthened defense capabilities, noting that the countrys air defense systems are so robust that they have prevented enemy drones and missiles from entering Indian territory. Earlier, they attacked us in Uri, and we responded with a surgical strike. They hit us in Pulwama, and we carried out an airstrike. And when terrorists targeted Pahalgam, we launched Operation Sindoor, which successfully destroyed their terror hotspots, he concluded, emphasizing the Modi government's assertive defense policy. Shah also spoke about Operation Black Forest, which was aimed at dismantling Naxal and Maoist networks. Elaborating on the situation in Chhattisgarh, Shah said the CRPF, Chhattisgarh Police, and BSF forces destroyed Naxal hubs located at altitudes of 5,000 feet, resulting in the deaths of 31 Naxals. So far, 36 more Naxals have been killed, and many others have either surrendered or been arrested, he stated. We are committed to eradicating Naxalism from India, and our target is to end it completely by March 31, 2026, Shah declared. Remembering Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray, Shah said, If Balasaheb were alive today, he would have hugged PM Modi after Operation Sindoor. He criticized current Shiv Sena leaders for making stupid remarks about all-party delegations visiting foreign countries to expose Pakistans terror activities. He also targeted NCP leader Sharad Pawar, accusing him of failing to do anything significant for Maharashtra. Elections for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and 20 other municipal corporations in Maharashtra have been pending for a long time. Recently, the Supreme Court directed the State Election Commission to conduct these elections within the next four months, following a detailed election schedule.
