Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde hit back at Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray for his alleged `neech` remarks, saying "they can`t digest if a common labourer becomes the CM", reported news agency ANI.

"Yesterday he (Uddhav Thackeray) said that Eknath Shinde is "neech". You abuse me by calling me "neech". If a farmer`s son, a common labourer becomes the chief minister then you don`t like it, you are unable to digest it," CM Eknath Shinde at an Lok Sabha elections 2024 rally in Buldhana.
