Khadse Gets Death Threats, Caller Names Dawood Ibrahim, Chhota Shakeel
Mumbai : Ahead of Lok Sabha polls, Maharashtra political circle was shocked with the reports of former state minister Eknath Khadse, who has announced his plans to join the BJP again, receiving death threats by an unidentified person on the names of gangsters Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Shakeel. The senior NCP leader has lodged a police complaint at Muktai Nagar police station in Jalgaon district against the unknown caller. According to police, Khadse received calls on April 15 and 16 from unidentified numbers. The caller mentioned the names of gangsters Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Shakeel while threatening the veteran leader. Khadse said, on April 15, around 8 a.m., he received a threatening call saying, I will kill you. At first, I thought it was a prank, so I did not take it seriously. But the calls continued with two different numbers, both seemed to have USA based numbers. The caller said I will face dire consequences and that I will be killed. On April 16 morning, I lodged a police complaint at Muktai Nagar police station against the unknown caller. I have not received any special security from the police, he said. Khadse, the former BJP-man, is currently with the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar). However, he had earlier this month announced that he would soon return to the BJP. A police official said, A case of non-cognizable offense has been registered against an unknown person under relevant provisions. At present, the police have not been able to trace the callers yet, but the investigation is underway. Earlier too, Khadse had received threat calls from the underworld. Khadse was revenue minister in the Devendra Fadnavis-led BJP government in Maharashtra, however, he had to resign in June 2016 following cases of land-related dispute with alleged interest of his family surfaced. He had accused the state party leadership, especially Fadnavis, for his exit from the cabinet. He quit the party in October 2020 after being sidelined and immediately joined the undivided NCP. He was elected to the legislative council in July 2022. His daughter-in-law Raksha Khadse is the sitting MP from Raver constituency, and again fighting on the BJP ticket in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

Under this programme, the election personnel are being provided training in seven stages for conducting free and fair polls. After completion of the programme, they will be provided certificates. Jalgaon District Collector and District Election Officer (DEO) Ayush Prasad said the programme will ensure error-free election and no repoll. Jalgaon and Raver Lok Sabha constituencies in Jalgaon district will go to the polls on May 13 in the fourth phase of the election. Around 39 Lakh voters will exercise their franchise in both the constituencies. More than 20 thousand personnel are being provided training to conduct the election in both the constituencies. The personnel roped in for the polls are being asked to undertake this programme, which is based on the guidelines and materials given by the Election Commission of India (ECI). We are giving them lectures, tutorials and clearing their doubts. They are asked to do demonstrations of all activities before going to actual duty on the poll day. Besides this, we also conduct a group mock drills, in which they are being given hypothetical situations to enhance their operational skills and readiness for real situations, Mr. Prasad said. Following this, viva of these personnel will be conducted by a panel, which assesses their understanding and readiness. Mr. Prasad said that they will also conduct a written exam of the personnel to evaluate their comprehension of training materials. Those who score above 70 percent marks will be provided a certificate, which recognizes them as proficient election officials of Jalgaon district for election duty, he said. Additional collector of Jalgaon district and Returning Officer (RO) of Raver Lok Sabha constituency Ankush Pinate said that 19,500 personnel will be deployed in both constituencies. Those personnel, who are unable to pass the exam, will immediately undergo a second round of training, he said.
Uddhav Bats for Coalition Government in India
Mumbai : Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday said that the upcoming general election is a battle to save democracy and stop dictatorship. He advocated for the coalition government in the country. Without taking names of Raj Thackeray and Prakash Ambedkar, he said that the people are well aware about the people who have extended their unconditional support to the BJP and are pretending to be contesting against the BJP. On the occasion of Gudi Padwa, the beginning of Marathi new year, Raj Thackeray announced his unconditional support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Mr. Ambedkar has decided to contest Lok Sabha elections separately after his alliance talks with the Maha Vikas Aghadi failed. The people now know who is pretending to contest the election against the BJP, but actually helping the Modi-led party. They will support those who are fighting to save the Constitution and democracy, Mr. Thackeray said. Claiming that coalition governments worked better in India, the Shiv Sena UBT leader said, We are against the dictatorial and authoritative government. The country has a history where every alliance government, be it of Atal Bihari Vajpayee or Dr Manmohan Singh, has performed well. In fact, the country has progressed the most only during alliance governments. Speaking at his residence Matoshree in Mumbai, where office-bearers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) and Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) from Jalgaon district joined his party, Mr. Thackeray said that for the first time in the last 10 years, large scale discontent was visible in the country. Autocracy is detrimental to the country. Barring some exceptions, coalition governments have worked in the country. We want a strong country and a coalition government. We want a strong leader, but who can take everyone together, he said.

Setback for BJP in Madha as Dhairyasheel Mohite Patil quits party ahead of LS polls
Setback for BJP in Madha as Dhairyasheel Mohite Patil quits party ahead of LS polls In a big blow to Maharashtra's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) unit, Dhairyasheel Mohite Patil resigned from the party. He represented the Madha Lok Sabha constituency. According to reports, upset over not getting the ticket in the upcoming elections, he sent his resignation to BJP President Chandrashekhar Bawankule. The BJP chose sitting MP Ranjit Singh Naik Nimbalkar over him for the Madha seat. On Thursday, Patil met Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) party chief Sharad Pawar in Pune. The Madha constituency was formed in 2009 after delimitation and Sharad Pawar was the first Lok Sabha member elected from Madha in 2009. Maharashtra has 48 Lok Sabha seats, the second-largest after Uttar Pradesh. The Lok Sabha polls will be held in the state in five phases from April 19 to May 20. In the first phase on April 19, Ramtek, Nagpur, Bhandara-Gondiya, Gadchiroli-Chimur, and Chandrapur will go to polls. Buldhana, Akola, Amravati, Wardha, Yavatmal-Washim, Hingoli, Nanded, and Parbhani will vote in the second phase on April 26. Raigad, Baramati, Osmanabad, Latur, Solapur, Madha, Sangli, Satara, Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg, and Kolhapur will vote in the third phase on May 7. Polling will be held across Nandurbhar, Jalgaon, Raver, Jalna, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maval, Pune, Shirur, Ahmednagar, Beed, and Shirdi in the fourth phase on May 13. Dhule, Dindori, Nashik, Palghar, Kalyan, Thane, Mumbai North, Mumbai North-West, Mumbai North-East, Mumbai North-Central, Mumbai South and Mumbai South-Central will vote in the final phase on May 20.

MVA seals poll pact in Maharashtra; Sena (UBT) gets 21 seats
Mumbai: The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi on Tuesday announced its seat-sharing formula for the Lok Sabha polls with the Shiv Sena (UBT) getting the major chunk of 21 seats, while the Congress will contest 17 seats and the NCP (SP) 10. The Congress gave up its claim on the contentious Sangli and Bhiwandi seats, which will now be contested by the Sena (UBT) and the NCP (SP), respectively. While the Sena (UBT) said the goal of the alliance was to defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Congress said it has decided to be large-hearted to achieve this objective. NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray and state Congress president Nana Patole announced the poll pact for the 48 parliamentary seats in the state after weeks of hectic negotiations. Addressing a press conference at 'Shivalaya', the Shiv Sena (UBT) office in south Mumbai, party head and former state chief minister Uddhav Thackeray said the seat-sharing deal has been reached and in an alliance, winning is important and defeating the BJP is the goal. When victory against the BJP is the larger goal, we have to set aside certain differences, he said when asked about the Shiv Sena (UBT) refusing to give Sangli seat to the Congress. Thackeray said there was a strange coincidence of surya grahan (solar eclipse), amavasya (new moon) and the BJP rally on the same day (Monday). Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech yesterday was not that of a prime minister. When we respond, please don't take it as an insult of the prime minister. Our criticism will be about a leader of a corrupt party, Thackeray said to a query on Modi referring to his party as fake Shiv Sena. It is not right for a leader of the party of extortionists to call us fake, he said. The BJP is a party of extortionists and this was seen after the electoral bonds scam was exposed, Thackeray claimed. Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole said his party has decided to be large-hearted to achieve the final goal of defeating PM Modi and the BJP. The Congress workers will fight the BJP and ensure victory of the MVA candidates in Sangli and Bhiwandi, he said. Our workers will never forget how the BJP ill-treated our leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, he said. Patole said the parties of Thackeray and Sharad Pawar were hijacked by rebels. Leaders of both the original parties are with us and Modi calls the Uddhav Thackeray-led party as fake Shiv Sena, he said. As part of the deal, the Shiv Sena (UBT) has got Jalgaon, Parbhani, Nashik, Palghar, Kalyan, Thane, Raigad, Maval, Osmanabad, Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg, Buldhana, Hathkanangkale, Aurangabad, Shirdi, Sangli, Hingoli, Yavatmal-Washim, Mumbai South, Mumbai South Central, Mumbai North West and Mumbai North East seats. The Congress has got Nandurbar, Dhule, Akola, Amravati, Nagpur, Bhandara-Gondia, Gadchiroli-Chimur, Chandrapur, Nanded, Jalna, Mumbai North Central, Mumbai North, Pune, Latur, Solapur, Kolhapur and Ramtek seats. The NCP(SP) will contest Baramati, Shirur, Satara, Bhiwandi, Dindori, Madha, Raver, Wardhan, Ahmednagar South and Beed seats. The Lok Sabha polls will be held in the state in five phases from April 19 to May 20.
As former minister Khadse heads to BJP, his daughter says will stay in Sharad Pawar's party
As former minister Khadse heads to BJP, his daughter says will stay in Sharad Pawar's party Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) leader Rohini Khadse, whose father and MLC Eknath Khadse is set to return to the BJP, on Monday ruled out any switch over and asserted she will remain with her current party and follow its ideology. Eknath Khadse, a former state cabinet minister, has said he would be returning to the BJP in a fortnight after snapping ties with the NCP (SP), which he joined in 2020 post spending almost four decades in the saffron party. Rohini Khadse, who was in Pune to attend a meeting at NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar's residence at Modibaug, told reporters she is not planning any switch over. Asked about her father's decision to go back to the BJP, she said he is competent to speak on his political move and has already clarified his stand. ''I have decided to remain with Sharad Pawar saheb and the NCP's ideology. The NCP has given us support in the last three-and-a-half years. Considering that support and the party's ideology, I can not think of leaving him. So I will remain in the party. I am here because I like the NCP's ideology. One should work where he or she finds happiness,'' she maintained. Rohini Khadse said her party workers and leaders were with her. Notably, the BJP has given ticket to Eknath Khadse's daughter-in-law Raksha from the Raver Lok Sabha constituency in Jalgaon district, from where she is the party's sitting MP. Eknath Khadse had first resigned as a minister following allegations of irregularities in a land deal in Pune district and quit the BJP in 2016. In 2020, he joined the undivided NCP after differences with senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, who is now a deputy CM. ''I have decided to go back to the BJP as it is my home. I have served the party for four decades. I express my gratitude towards Sharad Pawar who helped me during distress. I have spoken to BJP president J P Nadda and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. I will join the party in New Delhi in the next 15 days,'' he said earlier.
Police arrest two men in Thane district, claim detection of a dozen burglary cases
Police arrest two men in Thane district, claim detection of a dozen burglary cases The police in Maharashtras Thane district have claimed to have detected nearly 12 burglary cases with the arrest of two men, an official said on Saturday. The arrest of Avinash Dhanaji Shinde and Samsung Ruben Daniel, both 25, came during the investigation into a housebreaking incident at Kalyan in February. Using CCTV footage, technical and other inputs, the police first arrested Shinde from the Ambernath area. Subsequently, his associate Daniel was arrested from Kalyan. The duo was involved in about a dozen similar crimes committed in Kalyan and Maharashtras Jalgaon and neighbouring Telangana state, the official said citing their interrogation. Senior inspector Shailesh Salvi of MFC police station in Kalyan said that cops have recovered stolen goods worth nearly Rs 3.62 lakh from the duo. Of the two, Daniel is named in nine cases across Maharashtra and Telangana, he added.

Lok Sabha polls: Jalgaon MP Unmesh Patil joins Uddhav Thackerays Shiv Sena
The News Mill
Shiv Sena (UBT) declares four more nominees; fields ex-MNS leader Vaishali Darekar in Kalyan
Shiv Sena (UBT) declares four more nominees; fields ex-MNS leader Vaishali Darekar in Kalyan The Shiv Sena (UBT) on Wednesday declared four more candidates for the Lok Sabha elections, fielding Vaishali Darekar-Rane from the high-profile Kalyan constituency, currently represented by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's son Shrikant Shinde. With this, the Uddhav Thackeray-led party has so far declared nominees for 21 seats in Maharashtra which will go to polls in five phases starting April 19. Darekar-Rane had contested from Kalyan on the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) ticket against the Shiv Sena's Anand Paranjape in 2009, finishing third by bagging 1.02 lakh votes. Speaking at a news conference, Thackeray also declared the candidatures of Satyajit Patil (Hatkanangale), Bharti Kamdi (Palghar) and Karan Pawar (Jalgaon). If his Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) ally Congress was not keen on contesting the Mumbai North constituency, his party will field a candidate there, Thackeray said. The BJP has fielded Union minister Piyush Goyal from Mumbai North. The Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde has not yet declared its candidate from Kalyan. Thackeray said Darekar-Rane and Bharti Kamdi are grassroots workers of the party. Karan Pawar, a former president of Parola Municipal Council in north Maharashtra's Jalgaon district, emerged as a surprise choice of Shiv Sena (UBT). Pawar, a BJP leader, joined the Thackeray camp along with sitting BJP MP Unmesh Patil earlier in the day. Unmesh Patil quit the BJP after he was denied a ticket from Jalgaon. The party has fielded Smita Wagh in his place this time. Thackeray also indicated that Shiv Sena (UBT) will not relent on Sangli constituency where it has already declared its candidate (Chandrahar Patil) though the Congress is seeking the seat. The candidature of Chandrahar Patil caused heartburn in the Congress which wanted to field Vishal Patil, grandson of former chief minister late Vasantdada Patil, from Sangli, its traditional bastion in western Maharashtra. ''The Shiv Sena (UBT) has ceded its traditional Kolhapur and Ramtek seats to Congress,'' Thackeray pointed out, adding that his party had already started campaigning in Sangli. Asked if there would be a friendly fight in Sangli, Thackeray said, ''Friendly fights are useless because when there is friendship, there is no contest.'' The Congress is also upset over Shiv Sena (UBT) fielding Thackeray's close aide Anil Desai from Mumbai South-Central constituency. ''If our ally (Congress) is not keen on contesting Mumbai North, we will field a candidate from that seat. We are contesting four (out of six) seats in Mumbai. We want the Congress to win rest of the two seats in Mumbai, and Shiv Sena (UBT) workers will help them,'' Thackeray added. Satyajit Patil's candidature from Hatkanangale in western Maharashtra is seen as a jolt to Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana's Raju Shetti who was seeking Thackeray's support to contest from this constituency. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said the party had conveyed to Shetti that he should contest on the `burning torch' symbol of Shiv Sena (UBT), which he did not agree to. Local party workers were also of the opinion that whoever contests as MVA candidate should contest on the `burning torch' symbol, he said. Shetti won the Hatkanangale seat in 2009 and 2014, but in 2019 he lost to the undivided Shiv Sena's Dhairyasheel Mane. Palghar seat is currently represented by undivided Shiv Sena's Rajendra Gavit.

Potential Political Shake-Up: Eknath Khadse's Rumored Return to BJP
Mumbai: B efore the Lok Sabha elections, the NCP led by Sharad Pawar might face a significant setback as veteran leader Eknath Khadse, hailing from Jalgaon, is rumored to be considering a return to the BJP, where he had a longstanding association. If Khadse indeed leaves the NCP, it could deal a severe blow to the party. Speculations are rife that Khadse could join the BJP even before the commencement of the first round of voting in the Lok Sabha elections. Although Khadse has denied these rumors, discussions about his potential move persist. Sources indicate that he has been in Delhi since Sunday, attempting to meet with senior BJP leaders. Following meetings with top BJP officials, Khadse may announce his departure from the NCP led by Sharad Pawar. One motivating factor for this potential move is BJP's selection of his sister, Raksha Khadse, as its candidate from the Raver Lok Sabha constituency. When the Sharad Pawar camp proposed that he contest from this seat, Khadse declined, fueling speculation that he may be gravitating back towards the BJP. His departure for Delhi on Sunday night has only intensified these rumors. Recently, Raksha Khadse expressed expectations that Eknath Khadse would return to their political home. Additionally, BJP leader and minister Girish Mahajan hinted at this possibility, stating that he had heard about Khadse's preparations to rejoin the BJP. However, Khadse himself has not made any public statements regarding this matter and has been avoiding the media in recent days. It's worth noting that the Khadse family recently received relief in a land scam case from the Bombay High Court, which granted bail to Eknath Khadse, his wife, and daughter-in-law. Eknath Khadse was once a prominent figure in the BJP, but differences with Devendra Fadnavis led to his departure from the party. Allegedly, strained relations with Girish Mahajan also contributed to his exit. Upon joining the NCP, Sharad Pawar appointed him to the Legislative Council. Despite Ajit Pawar's rebellion, Khadse remained loyal to Pawar. Given this background, it was assumed that he would remain with the party, but recent developments suggest a shift in the landscape. Meeting with Sunita Kejriwal: AAP MLA Display of Unity and Support Congress Party Releases List of 17 Candidates for Lok Sabha Elections Vijayvargiya Takes Swipe at Digvijaya Singh's Ballot Voting Proposal Ahead of Lok Sabha Elections
The BJP is fighting the Lok Sabha elections, to be held in five phases between April 19 and May 20, as part of the 'Mahayuti' (grand alliance) with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) headed by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar as its two other constituents.
LS polls: Sena (UBT) releases 1st list of 17 candidates; ex-Union ministers Geete, Sawant find place
Mumbai, Mar 27 (PTI) The Shiv Sena (UBT), a constituent of the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), on Wednesday released its first list of 17 candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Maharashtra, and said it will contest a total of 22 seats in the state. It nominated former Union ministers Anant Geete and Arvind Sawant from Raigad and South Mumbai constituencies respectively. It re-nominated all five sitting Lok Sabha MPs, who stayed with party chief Uddhav Thackeray, following the outfit's split in 2022. These lawmakers are Arvind Sawant (South Mumbai), Rajan Vichare (Thane), Vinayak Raut (Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg), Omraje Nimbalkar (Dharashiv) and Sanjay Jadhav (Parbhani). The Sena (UBT) also fielded its Rajya Sabha member Anil Desai from Mumbai South-Central, party leader Sanjay Raut said. Desai's tenure is coming to an end next month. With this, the party has now fielded four candidates from Mumbai. Sawant had resigned as a Union minister after the undivided Shiv Sena quit the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) over the power-sharing agreement in Maharashtra. Vichare represents Thane, the home turf of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, whose rebellion triggered a split in the Shiv Sena founded by Bal Thackeray in 1966. The Sena (UBT) also fielded veteran party leader Chandrakant Khaire from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Khaire had lost to All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) candidate Imtiaz Jaleel in 2019. From Mumbai North-East, the party fielded Sanjay Patil, a former Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLA and MP who later joined the Shiv Sena. From Mumbai North-West, the party nominated Amol Kirtikar, son of Shiv Sena MP Gajanan Kirtikar, who owes allegiance to CM Shinde-led Sena. The party also named Narendra Khedekar as its candidate from Buldhana, Sanjay Deshmukh from Yavatmal-Washim, Sanjay Wakchowre-Patil from Maval, Rajabhau Waje from Nashik, Bhausaheb Wakchaure from Shirdi and Nagesh Patil Ashtikar from Hingoli. The Uddhav Thackeray-led party is a constituent of the opposition MVA alliance in the state. Another MVA ally, NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) is yet to officially declare its candidates in the state for the April-May Lok Sabha polls. On the other hand, the Congress, which is also a part of the state-level grouping of the opposition parties, has declared its candidates on some seats where there is no tussle with its alliance partners. Maharashtra, which has 48 Lok Sabha seats, the second highest after Uttar Pradesh (80), will vote in five phases starting from April 19. Shiv Sena will contest a total of 22 seats. Candidates for five seats will be announced in the next two days for Palghar, Kalyan Dombivli, Mumbai North, Hatkanangale, Jalgaon. The names have been finalised, Raut said. He said Raju Shetti of the Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana wants to contest from the Hatkanangale seat with the support of the Shiv Sena (UBT). This is the seat the undivided Shiv Sena won in 2019. The party will take a call on whether to field a candidate from Hatkanangale or support Shetti, he added.

Mumbai Diary | BJP strategist picks up key candidates
BJPs national general secretary Vinod Tawde has been instrumental in selecting suitable candidates for the party in the Lok Sabha polls. Despite strong opposition from BJP minister Girish Mahajan, Tawde ensured tickets for NCP (SP) leader Eknath Khadses daughter-in-law and BJP Lok Sabha MP Rakasha Khadse in Raver, as well as for Smita Wagh in Jalgaon. Following BJPs announcement, Eknath and his daughter Rohini Khadse, president of the NCP womens wing in the state, declined to contest against Raksha. Mumbai BJP leadership faces tough decisions The top leadership of the BJP has decided to replace BJP Lok Sabha MP Poonam Mahajan due to negative feedback from a survey. They have asked Mumbai BJP president Ashish Shelar to contest in place of Poonam for the Mumbai North Central seat. However, Shelar is hesitant to contest due to the unfavourable demographic composition of the Mumbai North Central constituency, where half of the population belongs to minority communities. It was previously represented by late Sunil Dutt. Sharad Pawars politics shaped by mom ideology Sharad Pawars political journey has been greatly influenced by his mother, Sharadhabai Pawar, and her ideology. She was a local body member during colonial India when Pawar was just a few months old, often bringing him along to her meetings. When Ajit Pawar decided to leave his 83-year-old uncle, Sharad Pawar, to join hands with the BJP, Sharad Pawars sister, Saroj Patil, spent the entire day in tears due to the division within the Pawar family. Despite her distress, her brother called and comforted her, reminding her of their mother. Sudhir Suryawanshi Our correspondent in Maharashtra suryawanshi.sudhir@gmail.com

Maharashtra allies sore over BJPs seat share plan
MUMBAI: After the intervention of Union home minister Amit Shah, the BJP-led Mahayuti in Maharashtra resolved its seat-sharing dispute and tentatively decided on a 36:8:4 formula for upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Going by the formula, the BJP will contest from 36 of the total 48 seats in the state while Eknath Shindes Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawars NCP will enter the fray from eight and four seats, respectively. However, both allies of the BJP articulated their dissatisfaction. Highly placed sources said after addressing poll rallies in Akola, Jalgaon and Sambhaji Nagar, Shah flew to Mumbai on Tuesday night and held discussions with Chief Minister Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. Maha dilemma for ruling coalition as Shinde, BJP fail to strike seat-share deal Shinde said he has 13 sitting Lok Sabha members who left Uddhav Thackeray and joined him, so he sought at least 13 seats. Ajit Pawar sought nine seats, said the source requesting anonymity. But Shah told them that multiple survey reports were suggesting otherwise. There is palpable public anger against the allies and very little chance of their candidates emerging victorious. Therefore, it is better for the BJP to contest from more places in the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. For the BJP, winning as many seats in the Lok Sabha as possible is important. Shah promised them a better deal in the assembly elections, he added.

Shah failed to see dynastic politics in his own party while accusing Oppn of it: Sena (UBT) leader
Shah failed to see dynastic politics in his own party while accusing Oppn of it: Sena (UBT) leader Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Ambadas Danve has alleged that Union Home Minister Amit Shah forgot to notice the dynastic politics in his own party while accusing the INDIA bloc of promoting dynasties. Danve, who is Leader of Opposition in Maharashtra Legislative Council, said on 'X' that Shah did not see the stage of his rally that he addressed at Jalgaon in north Maharashtra on Tuesday, where several leaders of his party, who represented dynastic politics, were present. In his speech at the rally, Shah accused the leaders of Opposition's INDIA grouping of promoting dynasties, and urged the youth to vote for those who strengthen democracy. In his social media post, Danve said, ''Union Home Minister Amit Shah spoke a lot about dynastic politics, but forgot to see the stage of his rally. Some of the examples of leaders from the stage that represented dynastic politics: Shobha Fadnavis-Devendra Fadnavis, Gopinath Munde-Pankaja Munde, Shankarrao Chavan-Ashok Chavan, Raosaheb Danve-Santosh Danve.'' Danve named some BJP allies, including Ajit Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party, the National People's Party, the Janata Dal (Secular) and the Rashtriya Lok Dal, and said the base of each one of these parties is centred around one family only. In Maharashtra, people showered their love on the Thackeray family, he said. ''For you (BJP), the Thackerays were good till they were with you, but represented dynastic politics when they opposed you! People can see these double standards. This trick won't work in Maharashtra. Keep this in mind,'' Danve said.
Shah holds meeting with Shinde, Ajit Pawar in Mumbai, discusses Lok Sabha polls
Mumbai: Union home minister Amit Shah held a meeting with Maharashtra alliance partners in Mumbai late night on Tuesday. The Maha Yuti comprising BJP, Shiv Sena and NCP is expected to finalise its seat sharing for the Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra after the meeting. Mr. Shah reached Sahyadri government guest house at Malabar Hill at around 10.15pm. Shiv Sena leader and Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde, deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis of BJP and deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar, who heads the NCP, attended the meeting. The three parties are likely to make formal announcement of their alliance for Lok Sabha on Wednesday. According to reports, the BJP wants to contest more than 30 seats, Shiv Sena wants more than 20 while the NCP has claimed 12 seats out of 48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra. However, consensus will be formed after Mr. Shah speaks to Shiv Sena and NCP leaders, a BJP leader said. Mr. Shah is on a two-day tour of Maharashtra. Before coming to Mumbai, he also held meetings and rallies in Akola, Jalgaon and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar. Addressing BJPs Yuva Sammelan at Jalgaon, the Union home minister said that the 2024 election is crucial for making the country Viksit Bharat by 2047. He also ridiculed INDIA bloc leaders and said that they have come together to secure future of their sons, daughters and nephews. Leaders of INDIA bloc parties have limited objective to promote their individual son, daughters political career. Congress leader Sonia Gandhi wants to make Rahul Gandhi the next PM. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray wants to make son Aaditya Thackeray as the next CM. NCPs Sharad Pawar is keen to make his daughter Supriya Sule the next CM. M.K. Stalin of DMK wants his son as the next CM. Trinamool Congress CM Mamata Banerjee is working to see nephew (Abhijit Banerjee) as her successor. How can INDIA whose leaders are serving vested interests safeguard democracy and national interest? Those who are so tied up with familys vested interests cannot uphold democracy. Whereas, Modis leadership which is relentlessly striving for the well-being and future of 130 crore people of India will alone ensure that democracy thrives and gets stronger, Mr. Shah said. Taking a dig at Congress leader Rahul, Mr Shah said that Rahulyaan has failed to take off 19 times and the 2024 Lok Sabha elections would be the 20th launch. Vote for the BJP means a vote for Bharat and making Narendra Modi Prime Minister for the third time, he said.

Earlier, it took at least eight days...: Fadnavis praises PM Modi for infra work at borders Lavishing praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday said the country has seen mega public infrastructure development under his leadership. Addressing a Namo Yuva Sammelan in Maharashtra's Jalgaon on Tuesday, Fadnavis said, The government (at the Centre) has given a massive infrastructure boost to rail, airport, and ports across the country. We have seen the new-age, Made-in-India Vande Bharat trains rolling out from across the country. Also reserving words of appreciation for the efforts undertaken by the Centre to build roads and boost public infrastructure in areas of Leh and Ladakh, bordering China, the deputy CM said, We can reach some of our border areas in 12 hours now. With more roads now built in the far corners of the country, including the border areas, we are much better placed at facing our adversaries--be it Pakistan or any other country, Fadnavis said. Taking a swipe at the previous Congress government at the Centre, the deputy chief minister said he was informed by top officers in the country's armed forces that major infrastructure work has happened in the border areas under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. Earlier, our military officers would brief the Congress on China's aggressive infrastructure building on China and how they were enabling themselves to plot attacks on us easily. It was said they could mobilise heavy weaponry to the borders very easily and attack us within 24 hours if they so desired. They said if such a situation ever arose, our troops would also have to mobilise combat hardware at short notice and, to that end, the lack of infrastructure was a problem, Fadnavis said. Earlier, it took at least eight days to reach some of our border areas, he said, in a further swipe at the previous Congress government at the Centre. However, because of the infrastructure development that happened under the leadership of Modi-ji, we can now respond to any misadventures at the border and retaliate, the deputy CM added. (ANI)

Amit Shah's Maharashtra Visit: Focus on Seat-Sharing and Candidate Finalization
Mumbai: Union Home Minister Amit Shah's two-day visit to Maharashtra is anticipated to focus on discussions regarding a seat-sharing formula for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, as well as the finalization of candidates. Beginning today, Shah's itinerary includes engagements across various regions of the state. On the first day, Amit Shah will visit Sambhajinagar in the Marathwada region, an area central to the Maratha reservation issue. Here, he will conduct a roadshow and address a public meeting, particularly significant as Sambhajinagar has been a stronghold of the Shiv Sena for over two decades. However, the seat was won by the Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM in the previous election due to vote splitting. Both the Shiv Sena and BJP are vying for the seat in the upcoming polls. Marathwada, comprising eight districts and eight Lok Sabha seats, holds strategic importance for both the BJP and Shiv Sena, given their current distribution of seats in the region. In Akola, Shah will engage in meetings with local leaders and host a roadshow, focusing on the Vidarbha region, which encompasses 11 districts and 10 Lok Sabha seats. The BJP and Shiv Sena share dominance in this region. Further, in Jalgaon, Amit Shah is scheduled to attend the Yuva Sammelan, expecting substantial attendance from the local populace. On the second day of his visit, the Union Home Minister will participate in the Indian Global Forum (IGF) yearly investment summit at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. Shah's visit assumes significance amidst ongoing discussions regarding the allocation of Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra. Notably, when the BJP announced its initial list of 195 candidates for the Lok Sabha polls on March 2, no candidates were named for Maharashtra. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar plans to conduct a review of nearly 16 Lok Sabha seats during Amit Shah's visit. The review meeting, to be attended by senior party leaders and office bearers, reflects the NCP's efforts to strategize effectively in light of the impending elections.
