As he wound up the campaign for the fourth phase of Lok Sabha elections, Shinde said his party, which got the original Shiv Sena symbol from the Election Commission, was the one taking forward the ideology of Balasaheb Thackeray.MAHARASHTRA CHIEF Minister Eknath Shinde has said the Shiv Sena led by him was the one taking forward the ideology of party founder Balasaheb Thackeray. In an interview to The Indian Express, Shinde said the Sena would have remained intact had Uddhav Thackeray worked and stood behind workers when he was the CM.Fighting his first electoral battle against rival Uddhav since the split in June 2022, and against whom he is pitched directly in 13 out of the 15 constituencies his party is contesting, Shinde exuded confidence that the Mahayuti alliance (with BJP and NCP-Ajit Pawar) would win more seats than last time.Responding to a question on the low voter turnout, he said party workers were told not to be complacent and over-confident and work hard for every vote and seat, “Modiji (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) has also said that don’t be overconfident. Get up and go vote first. People listen to Modiji,” he said.As he wound up the campaign for the fourth phase of Lok Sabha elections, Shinde said his party, which got the original Shiv Sena symbol from the Election Commission, was the one taking forward the ideology of Balasaheb Thackeray.What Balasaheb did not approve of is being taken forward by the other side. Their ideology has changed such that they don’t want Savarkar but Aurangzeb. People will think about it. We are also working on development,” said Shinde, who completes two years in office
