‘Part-time politics won’t work in Maharashtra’: Milind Deora slams Thackeray family over vacationing abroad during crisis | Mumbai News

Shiv Sena MP Milind Deora criticised the Thackeray family and accused them of acting like “tourists in their own country” and failing to show genuine concern following the recent terrorist attack on Indian tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir. Speaking to reporters in Delhi, Deora noted that while Prime Minister Narendra Modi cut short his diplomatic visit and returned to the country immediately after the incident, the Thackeray family—referring to the Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (UBT) faction—continued their foreign vacation. On the other hand, praising Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde for his swift response, he said, “following the Pahalgam attack, Eknath Shinde immediately travelled to Srinagar, ensured the safe return of stranded tourists, and personally met with them to offer reassurance. Thanks to his efforts, more than 500 tourists from Maharashtra were safely brought back. In stark contrast, the Thackeray family reportedly holidayed in Europe during this crucial time.” Story continues below this ad Deora criticised the UBT leadership for their lack of personal outreach and said, “instead of meeting the families of those who lost their lives, …
