The Shiv Sena, led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, launched a scathing attack on Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray for criticizing Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. They accused Uddhav Thackeray of working from home during his tenure, which allegedly led to Maharashtra becoming the state with the highest number of Covid-19 deaths. 

Addressing a press conference in Mumbai, Shiv Sena Secretary and spokesperson MLC Dr. Manisha Kayande said, "Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has gone to Delhi to attend a crucial meeting called by the Union Home Ministry to discuss measures to curtail the Naxalite movement across the country. The meeting is attended by almost 14 to 15 Chief Ministers. I am sure Uddhavji would have criticized Eknath Shinde had he not attended this meeting as well."
