Uddhav Thackeray

Mumbai, Aug 5 Shiv Sena (UBT) head and former Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray will be on a three-day visit to New Delhi from Tuesday and w..

The government has reportedly begun acquiring 20 plots in Mumbai intended for infrastructure and development projects to rehabilitate Dharavi residents. Thackeray warned that this would stress existing infrastructure in these areas.

The people of Maharashtra are distressed by this betrayal, as evidenced by the election results, stated Swami Avimukteshwarananda, the 46th Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath.

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut opined that the MVA should enter the election fray by announcing its CM candidate and proposed his party chief, Uddhav Thackeray, for the same.

For the first time after the MVA's spectacular performance in parliamentary polls, where it won 30 out of 48 Lok Sabha seats in the state, Thackeray held a joint press conference here with his MVA allies NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar and senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan.

Thackeray was referring to Nadda’s comments to a newspaper that when the BJP was a small party and less capable, it needed the RSS, but now the saffron party has grown, become more capable, and 'runs itself'

“Thackeray (Uddhav) didn’t do anything for the ‘Marathi Manoos’ staying in Mumbai. What did they do regarding mill lands? Old chawls or cessed buildings? They have not taken a single decision that would benefit Marathi-speaking people and allow them to stay there ....," said Fadnavis.

The discussion covered a wide array of topics including national security, political alliances, Maharashtra politics, appeasement politics, and more

Addressing a rally in Kankavali in Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg district, his second this week, Thackeray accused the Centre of ”looting” Maharashtra.

Referring to the GIFT City in Gandhinagar, he said a financial centre, which he claimed was moved to Gujarat, will be built in Maharashtra, enabling employment opportunities in the state.

Addressing a rally in Dharavi on Saturday, Thackeray claimed the then BJP chief Amit Shah had come to 'Matoshree', the private residence of the Thackerays, to seek an alliance with Shiv Sena (undivided).

The Election Commission and the Maharashtra assembly speaker have recognised the Ajit Pawar-led NCP and Shinde-led Sena as the real NCP and the real Shiv Sena.

Maharashtra Lok Sabha Polls: The South Mumbai constituency has emerged as a point of contention between the BJP and the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena within the Mahayuti alliance. Meanwhile, Congress' Sanjay Nirupam aims to contest from Mumbai North West, a seat allocated to the Shiv Sena by the MVA.

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray stated on Friday that disclosures concerning the electoral bonds scheme have exposed the Bharatiya Janata Party, which frequently accuses the Congress of looting the country.

The Uddhav Thackeray faction has challenged the speaker’s order that declared the rival bloc led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde as the real Shiv Sena after the split in June 2022.

Although Uddhav Thackeray has made a few statements that may sound like he has softened his stand towards PM Modi, Shiv Sena (UBT) is confident that the party will not get into an alliance with the BJP in the current scenario

The senior lawyers for the Thackeray faction, however, opposed the idea and said the top court is more equipped to handle the case.

News Highlights: Uddhav Thackeray faction's plea challenges the order of Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar, who declared the Shiv Sena bloc led by Shinde as the "real political party" following its split in June 2022.

The plea, which was filed on Monday by the Thackeray faction, was fixed by the apex court registry for hearing by a bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud on January 19.

"I am taking this battle to the people's court," a combative Thackeray said at a press conference here.
