Maharashtra Elections 2024: Mahayuti Alliance Unveils ’10 Guarantees,’ Pledging Loan Waivers, Women’s Welfare, And Job Creation
Mumbai: In anticipation of a potential complete loan waiver announcement by the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in its manifesto during Rahul Gandhi’s Swabhiman Rally at BKC, the Mahayuti alliance preemptively unveiled ten guarantees for the citizens of Maharashtra.
The announcement was made during launching of its election campaign on Tuesday in Kolhapur. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar were present for the rally. They together launched a scathing attack on the opposition parties and highlighted various schemes they have launched in the last two and half years. Before starting joint campaign, the Sena, NCP and BJP leaders visited Mahalaxmi temple and offered prayers to Amba Mata.
During his speech, Shinde expressed confidence that the Mahayuti alliance would secure a decisive victory with the maximum number of seats. He assured the people of Kolhapur that they would return to celebrate their triumph together.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Satara in support of Shambhuraj Desai, Shinde said the higher ‘strike rate’ of the Shiv Sena led by him in the Lok Sabha polls proved ‘whose Shiv Sena is the real one’.
“Some people abandoned the principles of Bal Thackeray,” Shinde said, taking a swipe at Uddhav Thackeray, who joined hands with the Congress and NCP in 2019 to form the MVA government.
“The party was put up for sale, Shiv Sena workers and the party were suppressed. Seeing this, the workers got restless. Shambhuraj Desai used to ask me, when should we act (rebel against Thackeray). I asked him to wait for the right time as the prey should come in sight. Once it comes, we will act,” said Shinde.
The MVA government of the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress was formed against the wishes of the people, Shinde claimed.
The Shiv Sena and BJP contested the 2019 assembly elections together with photos of Bal Thackeray and Prime Minister Narendra Modi featuring prominently during the campaign, he said.
“But after the elections, you (Uddhav) went with Congress. Balasaheb would have never accepted this, and that was why we took this step,” said Shinde, who was a minister in the Thackeray-led MVA government until his rebellion. He and his supporters did not leave the Shiv Sena, Shinde asserted.

Sameer Wankhede targeted in The Baddest of Bollywood; Delhi High Court orders removal of objectionable content from controversial series in defamation case

Mumbai: The Mumbai-Delhi High Court has strongly criticized Red Chillies Entertainment Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan and others in the defamation case against NCB Zonal Director IRS officer Sameer Wankhede and said that artistic freedom does not mean mocking a person. After this, the High Court has ordered that the controversial footage related to Sameer Wankhede be removed from the controversial Netflix series The Bads of Bollywood. Sameer Wankhede had filed a petition in the High Court and pleaded that his character has been killed in The Bads of Bollywood and this series has been made to target him. The purpose is to humiliate and mock Sameer Wankhede. After watching some parts of this series, the High Court has ordered the removal of the controversial parts from the film.
Sameer Wankhede’s lawyer had told the court that the character portrayed in the film is a comparison to Sameer Wankhede and that this series has been created with the intention of tarnishing Wankhede’s image. The Bads of Bollywood is malicious, therefore, the above-mentioned controversial scenes and objectionable dialogues should be deleted from the series, on which the court has issued an order to delete the controversial and objectionable content and content. Earlier, while hearing Sameer Wankhede’s petition, the court had sent notices to Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies, Netflix, Meta, and social media platforms and directed them to file a response. To this, Red Chillies had called the film and series a drama and made it clear that it had nothing to do with the facts. However, despite this, the Delhi High Court inquired whether a film drama does not mean that someone’s character is killed and said this, it reprimanded Shah Rukh Khan and the film company. Sameer Wankhede tried to prove through his argument that the character portrayed in the film resembles Sameer Wankhede and that this character has been portrayed in a negative way to target him and in this, an attempt has been made to make fun of Sameer Wankhede through this character, which has humiliated Wankhede, which the court has accepted and issued a directive to delete the objectionable and controversial content. This is a big success for Sameer Wankhede, while Shah Rukh Khan has suffered a huge setback.
