Maharashtra CM Shinde pays floral tribute to Bal Thackeray on Guru Purnima

On the occasion of Guru Purnima, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde paid floral tribute to Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray on Wednesday.

“It is only due to his blessing that I stand before you all as the CM today,” Shinde said.

In June 2022, Eknath Shinde launched a revolt against the party, leading to the MVA government’s collapse. On June 30, Shinde was sworn in as the 20th Chief Minister of Maharashtra, and Devendra Fadnavis took oath as the deputy chief minister of Maharashtra.

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also extended greetings . Taking to Twitter, PM Modi tweeted, “Greetings on the sacred occasion of Ashadha Purnima. We recall the noble teachings of Lord Buddha and reiterate our commitment to realise his enlightened vision of a just and compassionate society.”

Notably, Guru Purnima is celebrated on a full moon day, which falls in the month of Ashadha. It is also known as ‘Vyasa Purnima’ as it marks the birth anniversary of ‘Ved Vyasa’, the Mahabharata author. People also express their gratitude to the teachers and gurus.
