In a surprising turn of events, Milind Deora, a prominent figure in the Congress party, announced his departure today, only to align himself with the Shiv Sena led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The political landscape of Maharashtra witnessed a significant shift as Deora bid farewell to his 55-year association with the Congress party.
This unexpected move was unveiled in a statement by Eknath Shinde, who, in a rather dramatic analogy, likened the situation to a cinematic experience. “I am not a doctor. Despite not being a doctor, I performed an operation one and a half years ago…didn’t even have to make stitches and the operation was done. I won’t say anything more than this…This is just the trailer; the film is yet to come,” said Shinde, adding an air of suspense to the unfolding political drama.
Milind Deora, a former minister and Congress MP, had expressed dissatisfaction with the seat-sharing negotiations between the Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT) in the state, particularly concerning the impending Lok Sabha elections. The move to Shiv Sena, a party he had contested against throughout his political career, raised eyebrows but was not entirely unexpected given recent political realignments.
As the political theatre unfolds in Maharashtra, the departure of Deora from Congress adds a new chapter to the ongoing political narrative. The choice of Shiv Sena as his new political home and the intriguing cinematic analogy used by Eknath Shinde has left many speculating about the underlying dynamics and future developments in the state’s political arena.
