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.
