Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut criticized Maharashtra's Deputy CM Eknath Shinde for questioning Uddhav Thackeray's absence from the Maha Kumbh, turning the tables by questioning why Shinde didn’t question RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat, who also skipped the event. Raut pointed out that prominent RSS figures, including its founder and Hindutva ideologues like Vinayak Savarkar, never attended the Kumbh. Raut further criticized the political significance of PM Modi’s Kumbh visits and questioned Shinde’s dissatisfaction with his role in the Maharashtra government, claiming he seeks to merge Shiv Sena into the BJP for a CM position.
