Maharashtra Elections 2024: BJP Releases First List For Assembly Polls With 14 Candidates From Mumbai; Party Plans To Contest From 18 Seats

Mumbai: On the BJP’s first list of candidates in Maharashtra are 14 candidates from Mumbai. It is being said that the party plans to contest 18 seats in Mumbai. All its existing MLAs have been given another chance. Vinod Shelar, the brother of Mumbai BJP chief Ashish Shelar, is the only first-timer in the running, from the Malad West constituency.
Interestingly, there is only one ‘Ladki Bahin’ among the 14 Mumbai candidates – Vidya Thakur, with 13 ‘Ladka Bhaus’ in Mumbai. The party has not declared its candidate from the Borivli constituency. Sunil Rane is the sitting MLA and it has been said that his performance in the last five years has not been satisfactory. Similarly, no candidate has been named for the Versova constituency, where Bharti Lovekar is the sitting MLA; Ghatkopar East is another constituency without a candidate.
Former housing minister Prakash Mehta and existing MLA Parag Shah are both keen to contest from the same seat. It seems as if the party has not yet succeeded in resolving their dispute. There was news that Ram Kadam, Vidya Thakur, Captain Tamil Selvan, and Kalidas Kolambkar were in the ‘danger zone’ but the party has put its faith in them. Whether these sitting MLAs will get a chance in the second list or not remains to be seen.
BJP Legislator Ameet Satam Expresses Gratitude To The Party

“I am thankful to the party leadership for giving me the opportunity to serve the people of Andheri West for a third consecutive term. I will strive to the best of my abilities to serve my constituents, who have wholeheartedly supported the BJP in its quest for development over the past ten years. I look forward to the support, cooperation, and blessings of the people of Andheri West,” said Satam.
“Over the next month, I will make an effort to reach every voter to understand their needs, opinions, and concerns so that I can incorporate them into my work. I am confident of winning the seat with a thumping majority due to the extensive development work undertaken across the country, the state, and specifically in Andheri West over the past decade,” he added.
BJP MLA From Mulund Also Expresses His Gratitude To The Party
The BJP MLA from Mulund, Mihir Kotecha, too has thanked the party leadership for giving him an opportunity, saying he would go to the people for the making of Viksit Maharashtra and Viksit Bharat. Kotecha too expressed that he would win by a huge majority.
“Once again, the party leadership has shown trust in me. I thank PM Narendra Modiji, Home Minister Amit Shahji, our party president Jagat Prakash Naddaji, and our leader Devendra Fadnavisji, for their confidence in me,” said Kotecha.
“Now, I will reach out to the people once again to seek their votes in the name of development, aiming for Viksit Maharashtra and Viksit Bharat,” he said.

Police alert for peaceful Eid-ul-Azha in Maharashtra

Mumbai: Eid-ul-Azha was celebrated peacefully in Mumbai and all of Maharashtra. In Thane, miscreants tried to spoil the atmosphere on Eid-ul-Azha, which was foiled by the police. The police have also taken action against such elements spreading poison on social media. Along with this, peaceful namaz was also offered at the Idgah located at Dogadi Fort in Kalyan. An attempt was also made to ring the bell in the temple located in Fort and at the right time of Namaz, Shiv Sena and Shinde workers gathered and rang the bell, due to which the police took them into custody and prevented the atmosphere from getting spoiled. Police Commissioner Ashutosh Dumbare had made tight security arrangements in sensitive areas like Mumbra, Bhiwandi Police Station, Rabodi Kalyan and Ulhasnagar. In Mumbai too, the police was alert and prepared in the backdrop of Eid-ul-Azha and Qurbani.
Due to the dispute over Qurbani in housing societies, the police had made tight arrangements in such societies where problems had arisen earlier. Along with this, BMC allowed sacrifice in many societies and temporary altars for sacrifice. Muslims performed the ritual of sacrifice with Abrahamic zeal. Apart from this, police guard was also kept on Eidgahs and mosques in Mumbai. Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti reviewed the situation. According to this, the arrangements in Mumbai were completed. Mumbai Police also kept an eye on the miscreants and monitored social media.
Along with this, Eid-ul-Azha was celebrated peacefully in various districts of Maharashtra, Malegaon, Aurangabad, Beed, Osmanabad, Amravati and all over Maharashtra. No untoward incident was reported from anywhere. Police sources have claimed that Eid was celebrated in a peaceful atmosphere and orders for action against the miscreants were also issued, after which sacrifice was done and the splendor of sacrifice was seen everywhere in Muslim localities.

ED took action on 15 places including Mithi river, cleanliness, irregularities, Dino Morea

Dino Morea ED
Mumbai: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has raided 15 places including Mumbai in the irregularities case in the cleaning of the Mithi river. The Enforcement Directorate has also claimed to have seized many important documents related to the case while conducting raids in Mumbai and Kochi. The ED has also raided the house of film actor Dino Maurya. The EOW has registered the first FIR in this case, after which the Enforcement Directorate has now started a parallel investigation. The ED has taken this action under the PMLA Money Laundering Act. Dino Maurya has also been involved in this irregularity. The EOW has also questioned him and his brother.
It is said that Dino Maurya and Ketan are close to Shiv Sena leader Aditya Thackeray. Now Dino’s troubles have increased. The EOW has found many important documents and evidence in the Mithi river corruption and irregularities case in Mumbai, so now the ED has also started its action in the case of misuse of funding and illegal tender purchase in this case. Many Shiv Sena leaders are also in the ambit of ED action, because during the Mithi river corruption scam, Shiv Sena was ruling the BMC, so the scope of investigation has become focused on Shiv Sena leaders. EOW has also made significant progress in its action in the Mithi river corruption case in Mumbai. More revelations are expected after the arrival of ED in this case. EOW has taken action against 13 people in this case so far and has also arrested them. In this, political leaders including BMC officials are also on the radar of ED.

Mumbai: MLA and SP leader Abu Asim Azmi appeals to avoid sacrificing animals in the open on Eid-ul-Azha

Mumbai: Mumbai Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi has appealed to Muslims not to perform Qurbani in the open and also follow BMC and government guidelines. Cleanliness is half of faith, so take special care of cleanliness. Not only this, it is mandatory to follow all the guidelines and guiding principles set regarding Qurbani. Take special care of cleanliness and ensure that the brothers and sisters of the country do not face any kind of trouble on Eid-ul-Azha. This is the real teaching of Islam. Celebrate Eid with mutual love, brotherhood and following Sunnat Ibrahimi. Azmi said that the waste of Qurbani on Eid should also be kept in bags and thrown in the dustbin.
