PM Modi has fulfilled Balasaheb Thackeray's dream by revoking Article 370: Eknath

Aurangzeb was born in Gujarat: Sanjay Raut

What Aurangzeb did is being done by two political leaders sitting in Delhi: Sanjay Raut

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde responded to Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Tackhery) (SS(UBT)) leader Sanjay Raut’s comparison of Prime Minister Modi to Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.  “It’s very unfortunate that the PM who has fulfilled Balasaheb’s dream of Ram Mandir has been compared with Aurangzeb. It’s an insult to the nation, and people will give them a befitting reply in the election. PM Modi has fulfilled Balasaheb Thackeray’s dream by revoking Article 370. Yet, they are still comparing PM Modi to the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb,” Eknath said. 

Earlier Sanjay Raut who has earned a reputation through his style of commentary took a dig at Modi’s Gujarati origin. “Maharashtra faced trouble 400 years ago in the form of Aurangzeb. What Aurangzeb did is being done by two political leaders sitting in Delhi. Aurangzeb was born in Gujarat, so was Mohammad Ali Jinnah who gave birth to Pakistan. The conditions in the country are the same. Aurangzeb acted in a way that he would speak sweetly to everyone and seize the kingdom. He even adopted the policy of divide and rule. And the people from Gujarat who went to Delhi have adopted the same policy for Maharashtra and the country. History is repeating itself,” Sanjay mentioned.
