Uddhav Thackeray Calls for Regime Change at Dussehra Rally Amid Political Rivalry in Maharashtra

He promised better governance and accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of undermining democracy. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, leading the ruling Shiv Sena faction, defended the government, accused the opposition of double standards, and criticized the Congress party. Both camps used the occasion to assert contrasting political narratives.
