Some legislators of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiv Sena have been demanding the removal of Aurangzeb's tomb, while opposition parties were alleging that the issue has been raked up to divert people's attention from key issues.
BR Ambedkar's grandson and Dalit activist Prakash Ambedkar took to X (formerly Twitter) to applaud Radhika Apte’s character Pallavi from the fifth episode of Made in Heaven season 2.
In a dramatic turn of events, senior NCP leader Ajit Pawar joined hands with the BJP, which had earlier missed a shot to form a government, and took oath as deputy of Devendra Fadnavis as Chief Minister at Raj Bhavan in early morning.
Ambedkar is hoping that his alliance with AIMIM will bring him substantial chunk of minority votes.
Earlier in the day, addressing an election rally at Digras in Maharashtra's Yavatmal district, Ambedkar said he would jail the EC for two days if voted to power.
Addressing a press conference here, he claimed an "extremely urgent" military document from Kashmir dated February 8, just a few days before the Pulwama attack, had asked forces to sanitise any area before their movement.
While Ramdas Athawale might be content with just one or two seats in the NDA, Prakash Ambedkar is demanding 22 from the Congress-NCP, which even in an election that might be not as crucial as this one, would be ridiculous.
Ambedkar alleged that the RSS does not believe in the Constitution and was running a parallel government.
Congress leaders including state unit chief Ashok Chavan and Manikrao Thakre and NCP's Chhagan Bhujbal met Ambedkar for alliance talks earlier in the day.
The Congress is discussing an alliance with Ambedkar's BBM ‘at the state and highest level’. Ambedkar has reportedly demanded 12 seats in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections
Congress and NCP are intending to consolidate the Muslim and Dalit votes for the 2019 Lok Sabha and Maharashtra assembly polls
He said those raising voices against the government were NGOs and non-political organisations, but had their roots in the masses.
Ambedkar said NCP chief Sharad Pawar's few steps were not progressive and asked the NCP to improve on that part.
"If it is true, then what purpose the decision of demonetisation (whose one of the aims was to extinguish black money) has served? The entire episode has put the credibility of RBI at stake."
