Shinde's Sacred Stop: Kamakhya Devi Temple Visit Ahead of Crucial Elections

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde recently visited the Kamakhya Devi Temple in Assam, marking his second visit since his political revolt against Uddhav Thackeray in 2022. This visit comes just before the significant Maharashtra assembly elections slated for November, with Shinde's party yet to announce its candidates.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde paid homage at the Kamakhya Devi Temple in Guwahati, Assam, as the high-stakes assembly elections approach on November 20.

Shinde's visit recalls the dramatic events of June 2022, when he, alongside 39 rebel MLAs, challenged Uddhav Thackeray's leadership, causing a split in the Shiv Sena and leading to his ascension as chief minister with BJP's backing.

On Tuesday, in a display of religious devotion and political strategy, Shinde visited Guwahati again. His party has yet to reveal its candidates for the upcoming elections, where the coalition with BJP and NCP will be put to the test.
