The Tipu Sultan vs. Shivaji Maharaj debate has ignited Maharashtra’s political furnace, sparked by Congress chief Harshvardhan Sapkal’s bold equate. BJP’s fiery MLA Ram Kadam has turned his guns on Shiv Sena (UBT), mocking it as fully evolved into ‘Sonia Sena’.
Kadam envisioned a living Balasaheb Thackeray swiftly disciplining Sapkal. ‘Uddhav and his flock, surrendering Balasaheb’s legacy to Rahul Gandhi, watch in mute complicity,’ he blasted.
He grilled Uddhav directly: ‘Parading with rudraksha while Shivaji faces Congress scorn—where’s your voice? Your Hindutva? This seals it: Uddhav’s Sena is Sonia’s now.’
Amid the heat, Kadam cheered India’s T20 World Cup victory over Pakistan, applauding the team’s gritty honesty and triumph.
Optimistically, he previewed PM Modi’s speech at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, set to delve into AI’s vast opportunities in commerce, academia, and medicine. ‘Data and AI define tomorrow. Modi’s early embrace of social media foreshadows his AI mastery—a hallmark of exceptional leadership,’ Kadam noted, ending on a progressive high.
