Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has warned against underestimating him amid reports of tensions with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Shinde, who has been skipping meetings called by Fadnavis, reminded everyone that he brought down the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in 2022 when he was taken lightly. The warning comes after Fadnavis halted a ₹900 crore project approved during Shinde’s tenure. Speculation about a rift has grown, as both leaders run separate medical assistance desks and disagree over key ministerial posts. However, Shinde denies any cold war, saying they remain united for Maharashtra’s development.

Facing a series of electoral setbacks, the Indian National Congress is revisiting its 1960s strategy by decentralizing decision-making to empower district units. This approach aims to rejuvenate grassroots connections and address internal divisions that have weakened the party's cohesion. Historically, the 1967 elections marked a significant decline for Congress, with losses in key states and the emergence of strong regional parties. By returning to a decentralized framework, the party seeks to rebuild its foundation and counteract prolonged political challenges.
