Sanjay Shirsat's sensational allegation against Uddhav Thackeray: The slogan of
'Dagabaaz' is applied to himself, hunger for politics instead of farmers!
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, November 8, 2025: The temperature has risen on the political scene of Maharashtra due to the farmers' agitation and local body elections. In this environment, Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) spokesperson and Social Justice Minister Sanjay Shirsat has launched a strong attack on former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. Speaking at a program in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Shirsat gave a new twist to Thackeray's famous slogan 'Dagabaaz Re'. He said, "Uddhav Thackeray, who formed the government with the Congress, is the real traitor. He has nothing to do with the farmers, he only wants to do politics." This statement has created a stir in political circles, and there is a possibility of an immediate reaction from the Thackeray faction.
To understand the background of Shirsat's criticism, one has to look at the political developments of the last few months. The Shiv Sena-BJP alliance had won the majority in the 2019 assembly elections, but due to subsequent political turmoil, Uddhav Thackeray formed the Maha Vikas Aghadi government with the Nationalist Congress Party and the Congress. The BJP and the Shinde faction have always called this decision a 'betrayal'. Now, farmer leader Jarange Patil's Maratha reservation movement has once again contributed to the issues of farmers and reservation. Against this backdrop, Shirsat has accused Thackeray of ignoring the issues of farmers and prioritizing politics.
Speaking at the program, Shirsat said, "Uddhav Thackeray sits on a pedestal and calls people, but there is no one behind him. Who will listen to such a person? He is involved in the game of politics rather than solving the problems of farmers. He has nothing to do with the farmers, he only joined hands with the Congress for power." These words brought applause from the workers present. Shirsat further criticized Thackeray's usual style. "They always talk about politics, leaving aside the real problems of farmers. What did they do on Maratha reservation or farmer loan waiver? Only announcements and slogans!" he challenged the leaders of the Thackeray group by raising this question.
Another aspect of this criticism is the internal strife in the Nationalist Congress Party. Shirsat also commented on the recent tweet of NCP MLA Rohit Pawar. Shirsat alleged that Rohit Pawar had criticized his party leaders in a land purchase case in Pune district, but had not spoken about his own position. "Some people consider themselves judges. Rohit Pawar did not speak in the Pune land purchase case, that's why he tweeted. Is this politics or justice?" he questioned and criticized Rohit Pawar's behavior. Rohit Pawar has not yet given any reaction in this regard, but it is clear that the internal factionalism in the NCP is now coming to light.
Speaking on the role of the Mahayuti government led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Shirsat made a light comment on the family environment of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. "The family environment is different. We have to see if the child's decision can be asked," he said, indirectly criticizing the statements of Ajit Pawar's son Parth Pawar. Parth Pawar had recently made controversial statements on some political issues, on which the question of why police action was not taken was raised. To this, Shirsat said, "The Chief Minister has spoken about this. Appropriate action will be taken." Political observers say that this statement indicates unity in the grand alliance.
Shirsat also warned Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction) MLA Pratap Sarnaik. Stating that Sarnaik is accused of land grabbing, he said, "If there is a complaint, an inquiry will be conducted. Mahar Watan land cannot be bought or used, this land is for the community. This position has already been made clear." This statement is important in the Maratha reservation and land transfer controversy, as such allegations can increase dissatisfaction among farmers and the Maratha community.
Speaking from the perspective of local body elections, Shirsat painted a positive picture. "The elections will be friendly. The workers will fight independently, but the unity of the Mahayuti will remain," he said. He informed that Shinde Sena has MLAs in Vaijapur, Kannada, Sillod and Vaijapur in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district, and decisions will be taken at the local level. However, these elections are likely to intensify the competition between the Mahayuti and the Mahavikas Aghadi.
Regarding the farmers' agitation, Shirsat also criticized Maratha Kranti Morcha leader Manoj Jarange Patil and former minister Dhananjay Munde. Saying that both are making accusations against each other, he said, "Narco tests should be conducted on both of them. The truth will come out before the people. The government should take a decision and see." This statement could give a new twist to the Maratha reservation controversy, as Jarange Patil's agitation has created tension across the state. Munde has claimed that Jarange is making false allegations, while Jarange has questioned Munde's role. Political analysts are demanding that the government should mediate in this dispute.
Sanjay Shirsat's criticism has created unease in the Uddhav Thackeray group. Thackeray group leader Sanjay Raut had recently attacked the Shinde government, but now Shirsat's statement has made the dispute even more heated.
