Devendra Fadnavis takes ‘Hum Aapke Hain Kaun’ jibe at Maha Vikas Aghadi ahead of budget session | Latest News India
The Battle for Maharashtra: A Tale of Three Parties
As the Budget Session of the Maharashtra Assembly is set to begin on Monday, the political tension in the state is palpable. Amidst the anticipation, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, in a press conference with his deputies Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar, launched a veiled attack on the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). The jibe, reminiscent of the popular 90s TV show "Hum Aapke Hain Kaun," left all party leaders, including Fadnavis’s deputy Shinde, in splits.
A Scathing Attack on the Opposition
In a press conference, Fadnavis opened fire on the MVA, saying, "The Budget Session is going to start tomorrow. The Opposition has given us a nine-page letter. The situation in the Opposition is ‘Hum Aapke Hain Kaun?’, not ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’. They had an opportunity for a fluent conversation, but they did not attend the ‘Chahapan’ (snack meeting before the session). The letter they gave us is only based on newspaper articles. We will give the Opposition a long time to speak in the House."
No Rift with Eknath Shinde
Fadnavis also denied speculation about a rift with his deputy Eknath Shinde, saying, "There is no war. Those who know both of us will remember what we do when we are together." He emphasized that all partners of the ruling Mahayuti – BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP – are working unitedly. Shinde, on the other hand, described the budget session as "thanda thanda, cool cool" and even mocked Fadnavis’s statement, saying, "Everything is just fine, Fadnavis and I have swapped our chairs. Only Ajit Pawar’s chair is fixed."
The Stakes are High
The Budget Session is crucial for the Maharashtra government, which is facing opposition from within and outside. With the MVA reminding the government of the 2019 turmoil, the CM’s remarks are a veiled attempt to bruise their opponents. As the budget session kicks off, all eyes will be on Fadnavis, Shinde, and Pawar, who are expected to present the state’s financial report. How will the Opposition react to this jibe? Only time will tell.
