Comparing PM Modi with Aurangzeb 'an insult to the nation': Eknath Shinde
Mumbai (Maharashtra): Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has criticized the opposition for comparing Prime Minister Modi with Aurangzeb, stating it's an insult to the nation.
"It's very unfortunate that the PM who has fulfilled Balasaheb's dream of Ram Mandir has been compared with Aurangzeb.
Shinde further stated, "PM Modi has fulfilled Balasaheb Thackeray's dream by revoking Article 370. Yet, they are still comparing PM Modi to the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb."
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut, had compared Modi to Aurangzeb. He stated that Shivaji was born in Maharashtra and Aurangzeb in Gujarat. He also claimed that Dahod, the birthplace of the Mughal ruler, was not very far from where PM Modi was born.
Chief Minister Eknath Shinde was speaking at a press conference in Worli, Mumbai.
The news conference took place after Shinde finished a meeting with his party members and leaders of Shiv Sena from all over the state, including MLAs, MPs, and Ministers.
