Mumbai: ‘Aaditya Thackeray Puppet Of Urban Naxals, Spreading Fake Narrative On Dharavi Redevelopment Project’, Says Ashish Shelar

Mumbai: 'Aaditya Thackeray Puppet Of Urban Naxals, Spreading Fake Narrative On Dharavi Redevelopment Project', Says Ashish Shelar

Mumbai BJP chief Ashish Shelar challenged the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray for a debate and said the later is the spokesperson for the urban naxals. “Aaditya Thackeray and Congress MP Varsha Gaikwad have spread misconceptions, lies and fake narratives on the Dharavi Redevelopment Project. Aaditya lacks knowledge of the tender. He is a puppet of urban naxals,” Shelar said in the press conference in Mumbai on Thursday.

Speaking over the Dharavi’s redevelopment project, Shelar said that the project is a necessity and is a priority project, adding that Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena and Congress leader Varsha Gaikwad are peddling lies in the name of Adani.

Aaditya is the MLA from Worli constituency and Varsha Gaikwad, the Mumbai Congress chief is elected as the MP from Mumbai North Central constituency. She is the former MLA from Dharavi constituency.

Shelar, the MLA from Bandra questioned Thackeray and Gaikwad that when 70 per cent of the homes in Dharavi Redevelopment Project will go to Marathi people, Muslims and Dalits, then why are they putting roadblocks in the project by creating false narrative?

Giving update on the Dharavi redevelopment project, Shelar said that currently the government survey is underay to determine eligible of the residents. So far only around 20,000 structures have been surveyed. “How can Aaditya Thackeray claim 7 lakh people will be sent out of Dharavi when survey is yet to be completed?”

Around 430 acres of land is available on which there will be infrastructure development, open spaces, gardens etc. Hence more space is being taken up to give everyone a home. So why is Aaditya opposing it?

“Aaditya Thackeray claims that 1,800 acres of land has been given to Adani. I challenge him to show one document that proves it and I will quit politics. If not, he should retire from politics,” Shelar said.

Maharashtra Elections 2024: Sameer Wankhede To Join Shinde Sena, Likely To Contest From Mumbai's Dharavi Seat

Mumbai: Ahead of Maharashtra assembly elections, Indian Revenue Services (IRS) officer Sameer Wankhede is set to join the Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) faction. His process for his formal entry into the party is underway and he will officially join the Shiv Sena in next two days, sources say.

Wankhede, the former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) zonal director is likely to contest the 2024 assembly elections from Mumbai’s Dharavi constituency.

During the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, it was reported that Wankhede was keen on joining the BJP and contest from Wardha constituency in Maharashtra’s Vidharbha region, his hometown.

IRS Sameer Wankhede has always been in the news due to his strict actions and raids he conducted during his postings at Mumbai Customs and NCB. In 2022, he led Cordelia case where a cruise ship was raided and Aryan Khan the son of actor Shah Rukh Khan was arrested on charges of drug use and possession. All charges against Aryan Khan were dropped later, with Wankhede removed from the case after being accused of blackmail.

Wankhede is currently posted in Chennai.

This is a breaking news. More details will be updated.
