BJP MLA Ram Kadam has hit back hard at ally Shiv Sena (UBT), declaring it has completely transformed into ‘Sonia Sena’ under Uddhav Thackeray.

Speaking candidly, Kadam imagined Balasaheb Thackeray’s reaction: ‘He would have thrashed Sapkal with his own footwear for such blasphemy.’ He accused Uddhav’s camp of betraying their foundational Hindutva principles by staying quiet amid the affront to Shivaji.

‘Why the silence, Uddhav? Your rudraksha pretense rings hollow when Congress disrespects Shivaji Maharaj. This is your Hindutva? Uddhav Sena is now unequivocally Sonia Sena,’ Kadam charged, driving home the point with unyielding rhetoric.

On a celebratory note, Kadam lauded India’s stellar performance against Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup, calling it a display of unwavering patriotism and skill.

Turning to innovation, he hyped the India AI Impact Summit 2026, attended by PM Modi. The event will explore AI’s role across sectors like trade, learning, and health. ‘Modi, who pioneered social media savvy, is now leading the AI revolution—proof of his forward-thinking prowess,’ Kadam emphasized in wrapping up.
