Uddhav Thackeray's backseat at Rahul Gandhi dinner fuels Maharashtra political fire

A political controversy has erupted in Maharashtra following the seating arrangement at a dinner hosted by Rahul Gandhi for the INDIA bloc in Delhi on August 7. Uddhav Thackeray was seen seated in the back row, alongside Sharad Pawar and Aaditya Thackeray. This arrangement has triggered a war of words between the Mahayuti and the Maha Vikas Aghadi. The BJP has criticised the Congress, saying Thackeray was moved to the backbenches.
