BJP-Shiv Sena Launch Scathing Attack On Opposition Over Meet In Patna

Published

on

Mumbai: The ruling combine in Maharashtra, the BJP and the Shinde Shiv Sena launched a scathing attacks on Shiv Sena (UBT), NCP and the Congress over the opposition unity meet at Patna.

Taking potshots at the meet, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said, the opposition parties’ meeting was not to dislodge Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government but to save their own political dynasties. BJP leader Praveen Darekar took on Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray for rubbing shoulders with Mehbooba Mufti, while industries minister and Shiv Sena leader Uday Samant asked whether the opposition parties have accepted Nitish Kumar as the prime ministerial candidate.

“They have said the meeting is for ‘Modi Hatao’ (remove Modi), but they are working to protect their dynasties. All dynastic parties have come together and are working to save their families. For them, running the government is business, but for Modi it is service,” Fadnavis said.

“The Opposition had made a futile attempt in 2019 (to come together against the BJP) and the people will give a bigger mandate to the BJP in 2024,” he further added.

Uddhav joining hands with Mehbooba, says Darekar

Darekar said, “Uddhav criticised BJP for joining hands with PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti in Kashmir. Now, he is sitting next to her and talking about forming an alliance. This shows he has been blinded by the hatred towards the BJP and that is driving his politics.”

“A similar meeting was held even last time, when 52 political parties had come together. We know what happened to that. Now the country has made speedy progress under PM Modi. Hence, such meetings won’t yield anything,” Darekar said. Samant slammed the opposition for their infighting and said, “It is strange that people who haven’t been able to put their own house in order are today talking about ruling the nation.”

“The MVA is all chaos. The Shiv Sena (UBT) is unhappy because the NCP is fast replacing it while the NCP has its own headache where leader of opposition doesn’t want to hold the post anymore. The Congress has its own woes where state unit president Nana Patole can lose his post anytime,” Samant said and added how would such people handle the nation? Samant also flayed Uddhav for rubbing shoulders with Lalu Prasad Yadav who, he said, had abused Balasaheb Thackeray.

Anti-Hindutva parties’ meet

“The meeting at Patna is actually the meeting to decide strategy on defeating Hindutva. All anti-Hindutva parties are attending the meeting. Uddhav and Aaditya too are attending this meeting,” Samant pointed out and said, this is ideological treachery.

Srinagar: The proceedings of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly were disrupted after a scuffle broke out in the House between National Conference and BJP MLAs.

According to reports, the House proceedings were briefly adjourned after Engineer Rashid’s brother, MLA Khurshid Ahmad Sheikh, displayed a banner about Article 370, which led to objections from BJP MLA Sunil Sharma.

Irfan Hafeez Lone displayed a banner on the restoration of Article 370 in the J&K Assembly. After a scuffle between Lone and BJP members, the House proceedings were adjourned for 15 minutes. BJP raised concerns over security, questioning how such actions were allowed.

Leader of the Opposition, Sunil Sharma, stated that under special status, some had built their own “palaces” and even cemeteries. This provoked anger from National Conference (NC) leaders. BJP members began chanting slogans in the House, while NC leaders also responded with their own slogans. The visuals of the incident have surfaced on the internet.

In the viral video, the lawmakers can be seen pushing each other on the floor of the house.

After the House resumed following the scuffle, several opposition MLAs causing disruption were physically removed by marshals and evicted from the Assembly.

Amid uproar, the Jammu and Kashmir assembly has been adjourned till Friday. The UT assembly on Wednesday passed a resolution seeking a dialogue for “restoration of special status and constitutional guarantees” to the Jammu and Kashmir. The resolution was supported by all parties except the BJP.
