In a fierce political showdown, Maharashtra BJP president Chandrashekhar Bawankule accused Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray of forsaking the saffron ideology and distancing himself from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's legacy.

Bawankule's sharp remarks followed Thackeray's recent speech in Thane, where he criticized Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and framed the upcoming assembly elections as a battle against forces despising Maharashtra.

The controversy escalated with attacks on political convoys, leading leaders like Supriya Sule to condemn the violence and urge for thorough investigations.
