CM Shinde said, Gurudev-ji had given him blessings over the phone. "We told him we have launched a battle. He said very well, keep doing good work, you will succeed. Gurudev-ji supports those who are doing good work."
CM Shinde and a majority of Shiv Sena MLAs rebelled against Uddhav Thackeray's leadership in June 2022 that led to the collapse of Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. The rebel MLAs stayed in a hotel in Guwahati, more than 2,000 km from Mumbai, for a week, triggering the fall of the Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. Shinde formed the next government in the state in alliance with the BJP.
During the event, the Sri Sri Ravi Shankar was also present on the dais. In his speech, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said that Sri Sri Ravi Shankar supports good work.
The chief minister said that his government will actively support the Jaltara water conservation project of the Art of Living Foundation.
He also claimed that the Marathwada water grid and other irrigation projects in central Maharashtra undertaken by the earlier BJP-Shiv Sena government were stopped by the MVA regime.
