Calling the Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UBT) "nakli," Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacked the party on Friday and said that the fake Shiv Sena people are campaigning with the convict of 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts case for the sake of the votes.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) moved the Election Commission of India against Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut, alleging a violation of election model code of conduct.
Soon after joining Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde), Deora slammed the Congress for having the only goal of attacking the PM.
He is likely to join the Shiv Sena led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde this afternoon, said sources.
The controversy over Nawab Malik allegedly aligning with Ajit Pawar continues to be a sore point between the alliance partners in Maharashtra.
Asking the leaders of his party to tell him if he is "useless and incapable" to run the party, he said that he will separate himself from the party.
Demanding justice for Thackeray, Miss Banerjee said, “What is happening in Maharashtra is shocking. I doubt if any democracy works in India."
Shinde has claimed that he has the support of 38 Shiv Sena MLAs. Meanwhile, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut expressed confidence that the MVA government would win the floor test in the State Assembly.
Shinde shared a letter written by Sena MLA Sanjay Shirsat from the Aurangabad (West) Assembly seat and dated June 22 in which he claimed that the Shiv Sena MLAs did not have access to the chief minister's residence.
Rebel Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde on Thursday tweeted a letter addressed to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, and captioned it "This is the sentiment of MLAs". According to the letter, the Shiv Sena leaders don't have access to the chief minister's residence.
