Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, along with all Shiv Sena MPs and MLAs, will visit Prayagraj on February 19 to take a holy dip at the Kumbh Mela. This move is seen as an assertion of Hindutva politics, as Shinde’s faction aims to challenge Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena on ideological grounds.
