Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Sunday cited his humble background and took a veiled swipe at Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray said. "I am one among you. Some people think they are born to rule."

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Tuesday took a dig at Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray, saying an autorickshaw has outpaced Mercedes car. In his early days, Eknath Shinde used to drive an autorickshaw.

These include cases for attacking a traffic constable and raping a minor girl."In...
