Shiv Sena (UBT) hailed CM Devendra Fadnavis for his strict actions against fixers and brokers in state administration, especially during the tenure of ex-CM Eknath Shinde. The party claims Shinde's Chief Collector fled to Dubai with ₹10,000 crores, and that Fadnavis' measures, like rejecting 16 OSD appointments suggested by Shinde's ministers, have upset the latter and his faction.
