Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's Speech In Assembly After Trust Vote Win

Eknath Shinde broke down today in an emotional speech in the Maharashtra assembly, his first as Chief Minister after an easy trust vote win. While describing what he alleged were threats to his family over his revolt, Eknath Shinde referred to two of his children who had died and choked up. "They attacked my family...My father is alive, my mother died. I could not give much time to my parents. They would be asleep when I came and would go to work when I slept. I could not give much time to my son Shrikant. My two children died - at the time, Anand Dighe consoled me. I used to think, what is there to live for? I will stay with my family," the Chief Minister said.
