Fadnavis shielding corrupt Ministers of Mahayuti authorities, says Uddhav

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Monday (August 11, 2025) sharpened his assault on the “tainted” Ministers of the Mahayuti authorities and accused Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis of “shielding the corrupt” in his Cabinet.

Speaking at a protest rally – ‘Jan Akrosh Morcha’ – in Mumbai, Mr. Thackeray sought the removing of “corrupt” Ministers, saying his get together will proceed to lift the difficulty till they’re sacked. The Opposition get together has been demanding the resignation of Ministers Yogesh Kadam, Sanjay Shirsat, Sanjay Rathod, all belonging to the ruling Shiv Sena, and Manikrao Kokate of the NCP.

“Why was no motion taken in opposition to any of those Ministers when sufficient proof is accessible. The CM has continuously ignored corruption allegations in opposition to his Ministers,” Mr. Thackeray stated.

Referring to among the controversies involving the Ministers, Mr. Thackeray stated, “While one Minister was caught taking part in [online] rummy within the Assembly, some others are busy with dance bars and sealing offers.” Mr. Kadam has been accused by the Sena (UBT) of working a dance bar with a allow in his mom’s title, a cost denied by the Minister.
