  • Mumbai: From a Shiv Sena rebel in 2022, veteran politician Eknath Sambhaji Shinde went on to acquire the image of a doer and man of actions as chief minister in a short span of two-and-a-half years when he headed the Mahayuti government in Maharashtra.

The article from MSN details the political journey of Eknath Shinde, who has risen to become the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra. Initially known as "Ladka Bhau" (Brother Eknath), Shinde's political career began in the Shiv Sena, where he was recognized for his grassroots activism and loyalty to the party. His significant moment came when he led a rebellion against Uddhav Thackeray, the then Chief Minister, which resulted in the collapse of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government. This rebellion was pivotal as it not only showcased his ambition but also his strategic maneuvering within the political landscape of Maharashtra. Following the split, Shinde aligned with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), leading to his appointment as the Chief Minister in June 2022, and later as Deputy CM. His journey from a local leader to a key state figure highlights his transformation from a party loyalist to a political rebel and now an action-oriented leader, often credited with bringing development to his constituency and maintaining a strong connection with the common people.
