Possibility of split in Mahavikas Maharashtra Assembly Elections: Raut warns Congress against fielding candidate on Solapur South seat

Published

on

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Monday (October 28, 2024) warned the Congress against fielding a candidate in the Solapur South assembly seat, for which his party has already announced its candidate.

Speaking to reporters, Mr Raut said such actions could provoke a similar reaction from their side and create “problems” for the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA).

“The Congress has announced its candidate [Dilip Mane] from the Solapur South constituency in its new list. This has happened when we have already fielded our candidate [Amar Patil] from the same seat. I consider it a typing mistake by the Congress. Such a mistake can happen from our side as well,” he said.

“I have heard that local Congress leaders are keen to contest from the Miraj assembly constituency, which is part of our seat-sharing formula. If this infection [of fielding candidates against allies] spreads across the state, it will create problems for the MVA,” Mr Raut said.

The Congress, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (Uttar Pradesh), the Congress and the NCP (SP) are part of the opposition MVA, which is challenging the ruling Mahayuti.

When asked about the Congress contesting more seats in Mumbai, Mr Raut said, “The party is demanding one more seat in Mumbai. Traditionally, the Shiv Sena has been contesting more seats in Mumbai. The party is needed in Mumbai, just as the Congress is needed in the Vidarbha region.”

Congress state president Nana Patole said the party high command has decided to contest from the Solapur South seat.

“We, at the state level, cannot comment on this. My humble suggestion to Mr Raut is that he should direct his criticism towards the opposition. The issue of filing nominations will be over by tomorrow.”

The Maharashtra Assembly elections are scheduled to be held on November 20 and the MVA has announced candidates for over 200 seats. However, there is a deadlock between the Shiv Sena (UBT) and the Congress over some seats.

Mumbai: Mumbai Maharashtra government is corrupt and involved in corruption. There are serious allegations like murder on ministers and Mahagathbandhan leaders in this government. They are also supported by the police. Thanedaar Ajit Pawar, NCP faction leader Najeeb Malla are accused of murder and the widow of the deceased has made this allegation in a press conference while the government is unable to take action against these leaders. The law and order situation is very bad and corruption is at its peak while the Chief Minister claims to be a good government.

The leaders of the three parties have three faces and accordingly the law and order situation in the state is bad. Shiv Sena leader and Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council Ambadas Danve has made such serious allegations on the government in the joint press conference of Maha Vikas Aghadi here today. He has criticized the government and accused it of handing over Mumbai to Adani in the name of development and corruption of Rs 3,000 crore. Along with this, the Maha Vikas Aghadi has also decided to boycott the tea party of the ruling party before the assembly session. The government has ruined everything from farmers to ST Mahamandal. Wari palanquins are running but the condition of ST is bad. Pilgrims are traveling in these STs to join the Wari risking their lives. Ambadas Danve alleged that the corruption of the government is at its peak, so we have boycotted the tea party. NCP Sharad Pawar faction’s Jitendra Ahwat, Congress leader Vijay Vardatiwar and Shiv Sena leader Aditya Thackeray also spoke at this press conference. Ambadas Danve said that the government has completely failed to solve the problems of the people, so the government will be asked to answer on these issues in the House.

The arrest, which was made early Friday morning, follows an intensive investigation launched after the break-in was reported to authorities.

According to the police report, the incident occurred earlier this week when the occupant of the residential property returned home to find it ransacked. Valuables, including jewelry and electronic devices, were reported missing. The meticulous efforts by the investigating officers, including gathering CCTV footage and conducting neighborhood inquiries, played a crucial role in identifying and locating the suspect.

The accused, whose identity has been withheld pending further investigation, was apprehended after a brief chase and later confessed to the crime during police interrogation. Authorities recovered a significant portion of the stolen items from the suspect’s possession.

Residents of Mira Road have expressed relief following the arrest, praising the police force for their rapid response and dedication to maintaining community safety. “We feel more secure knowing that the police are actively working to protect us,” said one local resident.

This incident has prompted the police to urge residents to enhance home security measures and report any suspicious activities immediately. The authorities have reiterated their commitment to maintaining peace and order in the area.

The suspect is currently in custody and will be presented in court later this week, as the police continue their investigation to determine if he is connected to any other recent burglaries in the vicinity.
