‘Maharashtra Is Unsafe When…’: Sanjay Raut Hits Back At PM Modi’s ‘Ek Hai To Safe Hai’ Commen

Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut on Saturday launched a blazing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his 'Ek Hai, To Safe Hai' remark at a rally in Maharashtra on Friday.

The Raj Thackeray & Hindutva Conundrum For BJP Ahead Of Maharashtra Assembly Elections

Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024: The Bharatiya Janata Party backing Raj Thackeray's son Amit Thackeray on the Mahim Assembly seat is proving to be a double-edged sword for the Mahayuti. Already plagued by a horde of rebelling senior leaders, the Mahayuti is now having to deal with friction with one of its oldest allies — the Shiv Sena. The Mahayuti had just recovered from what seemed to be discontentment over the Lok Sabha election results and the central Cabinet portfolio allotment that followed. The seeming rift purportedly widened when the NCP joined the BJP-led alliance.  The bone of contention now is the Mahim Assembly seat, which is being contested by Raj Thackeray's son Amit Thackeray and Shiv Sena's sitting MLA Sadanand Sarvnakar. The Opposition alliance, Maha Vikas Aghadi, has...

Rawat won the seat on a BJP ticket in the 2022 assembly polls and had previously been elected to represent the seat in 2012 as a Congress MLA.

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik has become a sore point for the already rickety Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra ahead of the assembly elections. While the BJP has repeatedly opposed his inclusion in the Mahayuti, Ajit Pawar has been adamant to back him up. Now, as the Maharashtra Assembly election date of November 20 draws closer, Nawab Malik's possible candidature from Ajit Pawar's NCP has become a problem for the alliance comprising the BJP, the NCP (Ajit Pawar), and the Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde).

Maharashtra Elections: MLAs Missing From First List Rush To Meet Devendra Fadnavis, BJP Says…

The BJP's first list of candidates for the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections has caused quite a stir in the party. Several sitting MLAs and ticket aspirants found their names missing from the first list and made a beeline for Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis's home in Mumbai. The BJP released its first list of 99 candidates on October 20. The first list has seemingly widened the rift in the Mahayuti further, while "disappointed" BJP leaders are keeping their options open. Among those visiting was Devyani Pharande, the sitting MLA from Nashik Central. Speculation is rife that the party might replace her with a new candidate this time, as four out of five BJP MLAs from Nashik district have been named in the first list, but her name was missing. Following this omission, Pharande, accompanied...
