Amit Shah In Mumbai: Home Minister Lines Up 3 Meetings With BJP State Unit Leaders, Separate Meeting With CM & DYCM Ajit Pawar

Published

When Home Minister Amit Shah was on his way to Mumbai on Sunday, leaders and ministers of the Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra were on their way to rush back to the state capital before his arrival. Such was the hurry that Water Supplies Minister Gulabarao Patil took a car from Jalgaon district instead of waiting for the train. On the other hand BJP state chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule who was expected late in the night, took an afternoon flight from Nagpur and came back with Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

The reason behind this was Amit Shah’s two-day scheduled visit was just not limited to take darshan of Lord Ganesha in Mumbai. The Home Minister had lined up three back-to-back meetings with BJP state unit leaders, a separate meeting with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar.

The meetings assume utmost significance in view of the charged atmosphere in the state political circle that is witnessing most volatile moments in the last few days with controversies over running the government, statements by Shiv Sena ministers against NCP’s Ajit Pawar who is in charge of the state finance department.

While the BJP has been in a fix over its present face-off with Manoj Jarange-Patil and the high expectations of its partners in the seat sharing for the upcoming assembly elections, the tongue-lashing by Shinde’s ministers against Ajit Pawar has further complicated the scenario.

The first meeting scheduled on Sunday night was with the senior BJP state leaders including Fadnavis, Bawankule and other ministers. The state in-charge appointed by the central BJP unit for Maharashtra affairs and Vinod Tawade were also expected, sources said.

The second meeting was expected with Ajit Pawar alone and the third and last one was with CM Shinde, according to sources.

Shah was expected to take a review of the poll preparedness and the implementation of the populist schemes launched in recent times. He might also ask the leaders to apply breaks on the controversial remarks and statements such as the ones made by Health Minister Tanaji Sawant and Water Supply Minister Gulabrao Patil. While Sawant said he feels like vomiting after sitting with NCP ministers during the cabinet meetings, Patil said the finance department (headed by Ajit Pawar) was worthless.

Meanwhile, Shah arrived in Mumbai on Sunday evening and his first programme was to unveil the documentary ‘Mumbai Samachar – 200 Not Out’. The documentary highlights the remarkable 200-year journey of ‘Mumbai Samachar’ Asia’s oldest Gujarati daily newspaper.

On Monday morning, Amit Shah will visit the homes of Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde for Ganpati darshan. He will also visit ‘Lalbaugcha Raja’ and attend Ashish Shelar’s public Ganesh mandal for darshan.

Rein in the reckless MLA Sanjay Gaikwad: Nana Patole Remember even if you think of touching Rahul Gandhi’s hair.

Mumbai, 16 September 2024

Known for his notorious statements and unruly behaviour, Buldhana MLA Sanjay Gaikwad has once again shown his true colours by announcing a reward of Rs 11 lakh for anyone who cuts off the tongue of the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi. Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee President Nana Patole has given a stern warning that the government should take serious note of this statement by this criminal-minded MLA, and a case must be filed against him. Patole further said that and he should be reined in or else Congress workers know how to deal such goons.

Speaking on the matter, Congress state president Nana Patole said that seeing the increasing popularity of Rahul Gandhi, the ground is slipping beneath the feet of the BJP and its allies. As a result, the frustrated and desperate ruling party is twisting Rahul Gandhi’s statements and running a smear campaign against him. Rahul Gandhi never said that he would end reservations. On the contrary, he stated that the 50% limit on reservations should be removed to address the pending issues of communities seeking reservations. However, the BJP and their agents are continuously spreading rumours and trying to create a fake narrative. BJP’s goons and their allies are even going to the extent of issuing death threats. The government is taking no action against these thugs, leaving the public to wonder whether the rule of law prevails in the country or BJP’s hooligans.

Do people like Sanjay Gaikwad even know what Rahul Gandhi said in America? Rahul Gandhi is not afraid of Modi and Shah, so he certainly won’t be intimidated by the threats of local criminals like Sanjay Gaikwad. Millions of Congress workers across Maharashtra and the entire country, including us, are ready to stand as a shield to protect him. Don’t even think about trying to harm him in any way, no one can even touch his hair, warned the Congress state president.
