Maharashtra Elections 2024: Shiv Sena Goes Full Throttle As Mahayuti Hints At Eknath Shinde’s Return As CM

Mumbai: Just when it seemed that the Mahayvuti was in cruise mode, there has arisen a sudden, vociferous demand by the Shiv Sena to project Chiel Minister Eknath Shinde as the CM face in the upcoming state assembly election.
On Wednesday, when Mahayut leaders, including CM Shinde, Deputy CMs Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar were addressing the media, a question was asked about its CM face. At that time, Fadnavis had said, “Our CM is here” pointing at Shinde. This was taken as an endorsement by the state BJP for Shinde to be the CM once again.
Punha Ekanth Shinde ch Mukhya Mantri: Shiv Sena
When it was perceived that everything was smooth and going well, Shrikant Shinde, Lok Sabha member from Kalyan and son of CM Shinde convened a meeting with the party office bearers on Friday at Shivaji Mandir, Dadar. Here it was made loud and clear that the party wants CM Shinde to be projected as the CM face. A short film labelled as “Punha Ekanth Shinde ch Mukhya Mantri” (Ekanth Shinde as CM once again) was also released prior to the meeting.
Political sources say it indicates that all was not well and the meeting called by the MP son was a clear indication that the Shiv Sena has devised its strategy for the assembly elections. According to them, during one of his recent meetings with senior BJP leaders, Shinde demanded that he should be projected as the CM face but no concrete assurance was given.
Meanwhile, during the meeting at Dadar, the Sena leaders chanted slogans in support of Eknath Shinde as Chief Minister. Those present for the meeting includes Rajya Sabha member Milind Deora, MP Ravindra Waikar, MLC Manisha Kayande, Ex MP Rahul Shewale and others.
Sena MLAs Praising Eknath Shinde
According to the agency reports, Chandivali MLA Dilip Lande praised the CM and said, “Nath ke Nath, Eknath Shinde hai.” “Eknath Shinde is a people’s person, he is a supreme being who always comes forward to help us and others,” said Lande.
Magathane MLA Prakash Surve took a dig at Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders and said, “Everybody knows who is the real traitor. I organized a marathon in the national park earlier, we got tired of waiting but these people Uddhav Thackeray and Aditya Thackeray never picked up our calls.These people are not helpful, they are just pretenders, they should be really ousted.”
Addressing the meeting, Shirkant Shinde said that it was a question of working for one month, we want a Mahayuti government again in Maharashtra. We just need to go to the people and make them aware of the government schemes. No matter how much the opposition may abuse him, the people have great love for Eknath Shinde.
MLC Manisha Kayande said the alliance is contesting the election under Eknath Shinde’s leadership.
As the ruling Mahayuti alliance gears up for Maharashtra assembly polls next month, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has emerged as an influential political figure who seeks to balance tradition with modernity, effectively handles a crisis and delivers on promises.

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.

Mumbai Congress delegation meets Municipal Commissioner, expresses grave concern over poor condition of city

Mumbai: Today, a high-level Congress delegation led by Mumbai Congress President and MP Prof. Varsha Tai Gaikwad met BMC Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani. The delegation included MLA Aslam Shaikh, MLA Amin Patel, MLA Dr. Jyoti Tai Gaikwad, former corporator Haji Babbu Khan and other former corporators of Mumbai Congress.
Several important issues were raised in the meeting on administrative collapse, corruption and deterioration of public amenities in Mumbai.
🛑 Highlights of the meeting:
🔸 Increase in property tax without public approval
Violating the directions of the Supreme Court, the BMC increased property tax in the absence of elected representatives. The Congress strongly opposed this unconstitutional move and called it a financial burden on the people of Mumbai.
Scams in road construction
There is a possibility of massive corruption in the concreting of roads. Only 25% of the work has been completed so far and that too has been hampered by poor quality, damage to pipelines and serious irregularities in tendering – particularly in the inorganic phosphate based geo-polymer concrete tender.
🔸 Drain cleaning scam
Drain cleaning before the monsoon has become a sham. All the work has been handed over to contractors, no monitoring, no accountability. The Congress has demanded immediate and strict action.
🔸 Medical facilities in ICUs
BMC hospitals – like Baba, Rajawadi, Shatabdi and Bhagwati – are in a shambles. Patients are being forcibly sent to private hospitals, while privatisation of hospitals and delay in development work have worsened the problems.
🔸 Waste management
The sanitation system is already failing and now the BMC is considering imposing a “garbage tax”. In areas like Kurla and Borivali, the sewer line work has been incomplete for years.
🔸 Failure of the education system:
BMC school children have not yet been given books and uniforms. The commissioner has given a deadline of June 15. If this work is not completed, the Congress will again come out with questions on June 16.
🔸 Delay in housing schemes and PAP projects:
Housing schemes, PAP and redevelopment projects in areas like Andheri, Vakola, Khar have been victims of builder fraud, misuse of TDR and government negligence.
🔸 Other important issues
Corruption in central procurement process
Delay in approving hawking policy
Acute lack of facilities in Muslim graveyards
🗣️ Congress demands:
✅ ACB should investigate contractor mafia in BMC
✅ Independent audit of drain cleaning and road construction works
✅ Independent monitoring body should be formed for BMC tenders
Mumbai cannot be left at the mercy of a neglected and corrupt system. Congress will continue to fight at every level by becoming the voice of the people of Mumbai!
