    Was Eknath Shinde intoxicated while addressing the Media?

    Due to the mass around him, Shinde was having problems standing. After that, he regained control and interacted with the media in a typical manner.

    Digital Desk: As the political
    situation in Maharashtra continues, a video of Shiv Sena rebel leader Eknath
    Shinde speaking to the media has gone viral on social media.



    Some
    internet viewers wondered if the MLA was inebriated because the video gave the
    impression that he couldn't speak or walk correctly.



    However,
    the clip is expertly altered to provide the wrong impression. Only a little
    more than 30 seconds of a conversation that lasted more than two minutes was
    recorded.



    A
    more thorough account of the same meeting reveals that Shinde was truly shocked
    by the rapid rush of media members and needed some time to collect himself.



    Due
    to the mass around him, Shinde was having problems standing. After that, he
    regained control and interacted with the media in a typical manner.



    According
    to reports, the dissident MLA has been travelling between Guwahati, Assam, and
    Vadodara, Gujarat, in order to meet with former Maharashtra Chief Minister and
    BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis.



    Shinde
    paused for a moment or two to collect his thoughts, possibly due to fatigue
    from the journey.



    Since
    he has staged a hostile takeover of the Shiv Sena and is largely liable for the
    potential overthrow of the MVA administration, it is amusing to envision him
    being intoxicated during the meeting, but it is very likely not the case.



    It
    doesn't make sense that he would be so stupid as to engage with the media while
    inebriated.
