Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson Anand Dubey launched a scathing attack on Milind Deora, a leader from the Shiv Sena (Shinde faction), on October 28, 2024, in New Delhi. Dubey criticized Deora for his lack of accomplishments, highlighting his defeats in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

Key Points of the Attack

  • Dubey stated, "...Aaditya Thackeray has a history of 5 years to show for the works he has done in Worli. What history of work do you have to show? Milind ji, you lost the 2014 Lok Sabha, lost the 2019 Lok Sabha, and disappeared completely from politics to do rehabilitation."
  • He accused Deora of taking the Rajya Sabha path through the back door, questioning the rationale behind his candidacy now that Eknath Shinde's faction could not find a suitable candidate.
  • Dubey remarked, "Why should Sandeep Deshpande get himself disgraced alone? Two are better than one. Now Aaditya Thackeray will defeat both Sandeep Deshpande and Milind Deora and then become a minister."
