As Maharashtra prepares for its assembly elections, the Mahayuti alliance, led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, has adopted the slogan “Eknath Hai Toh Safe Hai” to emphasize stability and continuity in leadership. This strategic move aligns with their broader campaign to retain power in the state amidst shifting political alliances.
The Shiv Sena (Shinde faction), in collaboration with the BJP and the Ajit Pawar-led NCP, has effectively projected Eknath Shinde as the face of the coalition. Shinde’s grassroots appeal, rooted in his journey from a humble rickshaw driver to a political leader, resonates strongly with voters. Party leaders, including his son Shrikant Shinde, have rallied behind him, emphasizing his ability to address public grievances and deliver on promises like infrastructure development and social welfare initiatives
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also championed the campaign with the slogan “Ek Hai Toh Safe Hai” (United We Are Safe), which he has called a national mantra of unity and progress. This message underpins the Mahayuti’s focus on inclusive governance, targeting all communities without discrimination. The alliance has credited its policies for economic development, asserting that opposition groups like the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) have been divisive in their tactics
The elections, set for November 20, are a critical test for Shinde’s leadership. His government has sought to address longstanding issues like Maratha reservations and infrastructure development, showcasing a balance between tradition and modernization. With Shinde’s proven crisis management skills and public approval, the Mahayuti alliance is optimistic about securing a strong mandate
