Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde criticized the UPA government for not retaliating against Pakistan after the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, calling it "treachery." Speaking at Shiv Sena's Dusshera rally, Shinde contrasted this with PM Modi's firm responses to terrorism, while also attacking Uddhav Thackeray and Rahul Gandhi for allegedly echoing Pakistan's positions. He announced that his party would contest upcoming local elections alongside BJP and Ajit Pawar's NCP.
