Uddhav-led Sena faction fears that the Shinde-led govt may try to use its power to deny them permission to use the ground for its iconic Dussehra rally. All eyes are now on BMC.
Former Shiv Sena corporators reached the spot as soon as they heard about the tree fall. Newly sworn-in ministers of the rebel Eknath Shinde camp also took stock Thursday.
Thackerays are banking on hold over city and local party branches to win BMC elections. Workers emphasise emotional connection to family & say ground-level strength has been 'reignited'.
Eknath Shinde credits Anand Dighe — whom he mirrors in style of functioning and garb — with playing a profound role in his personal and political life.
What is Shiv Sena’s ideology? We might say it’s been a convenient mix of extreme ethnic chauvinism & unforgiving Hindutva. Within the second, the party retained space to manoeuvre.
The BJP’s move to place Eknath Shinde in the CM’s chair eclipses political veteran Sharad Pawar as the kingmaker of Maharashtra. The party has paid NCP chief back in his own coin.
Arvind Sawant, a former minister in Modi govt, blames PM for 'plotting conspiracy to finish Shiv Sena'. He says Bal Thackeray advised BJP to keep Modi on as CM after Gujarat riots.
At its national executive meeting, party authorises its president & Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray to act against rebel MLAs, asserts that no other outfit can use Sena founder’s name.
Raj Thackeray’s beleaguered MNS is taking a strong Hindutva line to capitalise on Shiv Sena’s ideological ‘dilution’ due to its alliance with former foes Congress and NCP.
Whether it is due to the alleged unofficial ban on The Bengal Files or allegations by Gopal Mukherjee’s family against Agnihotri, everyone in the state wants to know more about Mukherjee.
As devastated farmers begin to come to terms with the fallout, 4 lakh hectares of land under paddy cultivation across state is flooded. Punjab is among the biggest contributors to PDS.
New Delhi: Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi has strongly backed the idea of theaterisation, saying it is inevitable and the need of the hour.
Speaking...
In its toughest time in decades because of floods, Punjab would’ve expected PM Modi to visit. If he has the time for a Bihar tour, why not a short visit to next-door Punjab?
