Don't be afraid of the politics of pressure: Eknath Shinde to party workers in Satara

Kolhapur/Satara, Apr 20 (UNI) Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde urged Shiv Sena workers "not to give in to any kind of pressure politics, and fight with determination" -- in an indication of the internal turmoil within the Mahayuti alliance.
"Let anyone do any kind of pressure politics. But don't be afraid. Fight with determination," Shinde, said addressing a rally late on Monday night at Gandhi Maidan in Satara city. His attack on the BJP comes in the backdrop of the Zilla Parishad elections in Satara, which has brought the internal turmoil within the Mahayuti to the fore.
In March, BJP’s Priya Shinde was elected the Satara ZP president, trumping the Shiv Sena-NCP combine's candidate despite the latter having a majority in the rural local body.
