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.
The entire idea of the Kaleshwaram project is to avoid water wastage. The geniuses in the government must understand that public projects like this simply cannot be junked.
While digital assets are speeding ahead, the tech and regulatory frameworks behind them aren’t keeping up. Each blockchain still operates with its own governance, standards andcompliance assumptions.
Asim Munir locked up Imran Khan, had his handmaiden parliament give himself an extended tenure. But the additional jingle of that fifth star will not change facts on the ground.
