After Congress' Defeat In Haryana, Ally Shiv Sena (UBT) Gets Upper Hand In Maharashtra, Gives 'Reality Check' Messages As Assembly Polls Near

In 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Congress party recovered from a 10-year-long electoral doom and slumber, which boosted the party’s morale. Amid expectations that Congress will have an easy win in Haryana, the BJP registered a historic win and is about to form a government for the consecutive third time. After the Congress’ defeat in Haryana, the effects will be seen in the soon-to-be-announced Maharashtra assembly elections. Congress’ ally, Shiv Sena (UBT) have started giving ‘reality checks’ messages.

In the Lok Sabha, the Congress emerged as the largest party in Maharashtra, followed by its MVA alliance party Shiv Sena (UBT). However, now after Congress’ poor electoral performance in Haryana, the Sena UBT have got a upper hand in Maharashtra ahead of assembly elections.

The Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT) have been claiming the chief minister’s post, if they win in Maharashtra. Congress workers unofficially projected Nana Patole as the next CM, while Sena projected former CM, Uddhav Thackeray.

With the political development after Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir results, the Shiv Sena (UBT) have started making attacking statements against Congress, hinting that its bargaining power in Maharashtra has decreased.

On Tuesday, Sena UBT’s Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturdevi commented that the Congress party weakens in a direct contest with BJP and that the grand-old party should rework its elections strategies. While, today (Wednesday) Sena UBT MP Sanja Raut targeted the Congress saying the there was no INDI Alliance, and Congress party thought it could win on its own strength without any alliance, but failed. The statement hinted the Congress’ dependency on its alliance partners.

In Maharashtra, the Congress emerged as the largest party by winning 17 seats in the Lok Sabha, with Shiv Sena (UBT) following with 9 seats. The MVA alliance is yet to announce it’s seat-sharing formula for the 288 assembly constituencies in Maharashtra, however, the alliance says that formula has been finalised. It is too be seen, how the political developments after Haryana elections affects Maharashtra politics.

Meanwhile, after Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi’s comments over Congress’ poll strategy and electoral performance in Haryana, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said that the alliance partners should speak to them directly instead of media.

“I would like to remind that the Congress was the number 1 party in Maharashtra during the Lok Sabha elections. There is a coalition dharma in alliance and any talks should take place between partners and not through the media,” said Ramesh, without naming the Sena UBT leader.

Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader Worker Assembly Abu Asim Azmi criticized the statement of Home Minister Amit Shah and said that it is the responsibility of the Home Minister and the Central Government to take action against Bangladeshi and Pakistani infiltrators. The population of Muslims in India has increased due to Bangladeshis. This is completely wrong. The residents of West Bengal and ordinary Muslims are being targeted under the guise of Bangladeshi and Pakistanis. He said that the government is yours in many states and at the center, so how do Bangladeshi infiltrators enter from the border? What action has the government taken against those who forge their documents so far? He said that targeting Muslims under the guise of Bangladeshi should be stopped, just as Karat Soumya is trying to fake the certificates and documents of every Muslim and is targeting Muslims. He said that the government should pay attention to how Bangladeshi infiltrators infiltrate from the Indian border. This is not the job of Congress, SP or other parties. It is the job of the government to take action against Bangladeshi and Pakistanis and to bring them to justice. But Muslims should not be harassed or disturbed. He said that action is being taken against those officers who are preparing documents for Bangladeshis.
