As the assembly elections approach, political tensions in the state have intensified. On Saturday, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray delivered a sharp critique of Home Minister Amit Shah during a rally in Pune. Thackeray drew historical comparisons, likening Shah to the historical invader Ahmad Shah Abdali

"If we look back at Maharashtra's history, Shahistekhan had attacked Pune. However, Shahistekhan was clever; he managed to escape with just three fingers lost. He never returned after that. If some people had learned from this, they too would never have returned. But why did they come back? They came back to check the impact of the blow Maharashtra's people gave them in the last Lok Sabha elections. This person who has returned is the political descendant of Ahmed Shah Abdali—Amit Shah.
