Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024: Shiv Sena-UBT Leader Aaditya Thackeray Accuses BJP Of Looting The State Instead Of Addressing Its Issues, Demands Answers From PM Modi
Nashik: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Friday criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its actions in Maharashtra, claiming that the party has “looted” the state instead of addressing its issues.
While speaking to ANI on Friday, Thackeray stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should answer why the BJP looted Maharashtra instead of entangling them in the pages of history. Thackeray further questioned the BJP for not providing employment to the youth of the state.
“I think it would be better for the Prime Minister to answer why the BJP looted Maharashtra instead of entangling us in the pages of history. Why did the BJP not employ the youth here and take it to Gujarat? They should answer this,” he said.
Accusation Made By Shiv Sena-UBT Candidate From Worli, Aaditya Thackeray
Shiv Sena (UBT) candidate from Worli, who was campaigning in the lead-up to the state elections, also accused the BJP of not prioritising the welfare of Maharashtra’s people, suggesting that while the BJP may focus on history, the state is looking at the future. In a direct challenge to the BJP, Thackeray asserted that the BJP thinks bad for Maharashtra and that the state would decline the BJP and would accept Maha Vikas Aghadi.
“Maybe they are busy with the pages of history but Maharashtra is looking at the future. BJP thinks bad about Maharashtra. Maharashtra will decline the BJP; it will only accept MVA,” he said.
Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde Slams Maha Vikas Aghadi Govt
Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde slammed the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, stating that it would be remembered as an “anti-development government, reiterating that the voters of Pune would stand with the Mahayuti during the upcoming Maharashtra assembly polls.
Addressing a public rally in Pune on Friday, Shinde accused the MVA of stalling major development projects and prioritising power over public welfare and criticised the MVA for forming an “unnatural alliance” driven by the “greed of power.”
“I have come here after six public rallies throughout the day. Pune is an IT and manufacturing hub. It is the cultural city of the state. I know voters of Pune will stand behind Mahayuti. If you compare the work done by MVA and Mahayuti, they just stalled all projects like Jalyukt Shivar Yojana, Samruddhi Mahamarg, metro projects and others. MVA will be known as an anti-development government… They made an unnatural alliance for the greed of power,” he said.

Charkop Firing Case: Four More Arrested In Attempt On Real Estate Agent Freddy D’Lima; Total Accused Now Five

Mumbai: In the Charkop firing case where 42-year-old real estate agent and social worker Freddy D’Lima was targeted, the Mumbai Crime Branch arrested four more accused on Friday.
The arrested men have been identified as Rajesh Chauhan (42), resident of Kandivali; Subhash Mohite (44), resident of Virar; Mangesh Choudhary (40), resident of Pune; and Krishna Singh (25), resident of Thane.
The arrests were made by Unit 11, under the leadership of Unit 6’s PI Bharat Ghone, following the directive of DCP Vishal Thakur. All four were traced and detained from Kolhapur before being brought to Mumbai for interrogation.
With these arrests, the total number of accused in the case has reached five. On Thursday, Charkop Police had arrested 35-year-old Munna Sheikh, alias Guddu, a bar and restaurant manager, for his alleged involvement in planning the attack.
During investigation, police found that Guddu had a financial dispute with D’Lima. Officers suspect that Guddu may have hired shooters to eliminate D’Lima.
An officer revealed that both Guddu and D’Lima live in the same housing society but were involved in redevelopment deals with different builders. The project was reportedly valued at around ₹4 crore, which may have caused prolonged tension between the two.
It is suspected that this dispute may have driven Guddu to plan the firing attack, although police have not officially confirmed this motive. Guddu has been remanded to police custody till November 27. The Charkop Police continue to probe the case.
