Mumbai: So, Maharashtra’s Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis recently shared his thoughts on NCP chief Sharad Pawar’s surprising compliment to the RSS. Pawar had credited the RSS for the BJP’s win in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, which caught a lot of people off guard.
Fadnavis explained that Pawar’s remarks were likely due to the RSS Vichar Pariwar’s success in countering the misleading narratives pushed by the Maha Vikas Aghadi during the Lok Sabha elections. He emphasized how crucial the RSS was in uniting various forces to tackle what he called “anarchist forces” in the state.
He mentioned that they had asked the RSS Vichar Pariwar to rally together against these forces, and it seems that their efforts paid off. Fadnavis believes this collaboration helped change the narrative and led to a different outcome in the Assembly elections compared to the Lok Sabha polls.
Fadnavis pointed out that the Maha Vikas Aghadi had become overconfident after their Lok Sabha success, thinking they could maintain power through their fabricated narratives. He admitted that he and others had also been overconfident, underestimating the impact of the opposition’s tactics.
He even acknowledged Pawar’s sharpness, suggesting that Pawar must have recognized how quickly the political landscape could shift. Fadnavis speculated that Pawar’s praise for the RSS might be a strategic move to acknowledge their influence in the current political climate.
Reflecting on the unpredictable nature of politics, Fadnavis warned against complacency. He noted that unexpected alliances and defections are common, and one should never take anything for granted. He said, “never say never,” emphasizing that anything can happen in politics.
This discussion follows Pawar’s earlier comments, where he praised the RSS for its commitment to its ideology and encouraged his party to build a similar base of dedicated workers. It’s a fascinating time in Maharashtra politics, with twists and turns that keep everyone on their toes.
