Indian Political Highlights | 'In 2022 I changed govt': Eknath Shinde repeats 'don't take me lightly' message amid 'rift' with CM FadnavisA political row erupted Friday after a media report claimed $21 million aid by USAID was meant for Bangladesh and not India, with the Congress demanding an apology from the BJP and the ruling party accusing Rahul Gandhi of colluding with foreign forces to weaken India. Congress alleged that the BJP's narrative was aimed at diverting attention from its own use of foreign funds to "destabilise" past governments led by it. Meanwhile, Maharashtra deputy CM Eknath Shinde said nobody should take him lightly, and made a veiled reference to the toppling of the MVA government amid talk of a growing rift between him and CM Devendra Fadnavis.
