Speculation about a rift has been fueled by reports that Shinde has been skipping meetings called by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, according to India Today.Shinde’s 2022 rebellion led to the fall of Uddhav Thackeray’s government and a split in the Shiv Sena. He later aligned with the BJP and became Maharashtra’s Chief Minister.However, after the BJP’s strong performance in the recent assembly elections, he was forced to give up the position.In a cryptic remark, Shinde on Friday said, “In my first speech in the Vidhan Sabha, I predicted that Devendra Fadnavis Ji would secure more than 200 seats, and we ended up with 232 seats. So, do not take me lightly. Those who understand the hint, should understand it, and I will continue doing my work.”
