Mumbai Diary | BJP-RSS silent social engineering at work

These initiatives aim at bringing marginalised and socially overlooked communities like Banjara, Lamana, Walmiki, Sikhlegal, and Mohayal etc together at one platform. The programme will start in Nagpur in presence of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath. It will then shift to Navi Mumbai where Union Home Minister Amit Shah will be present. Finally, it would culminate in Nanded under the banner of Hind Di Chanar, commemorating the 350th Shahidi Samagam of Sri Guru Tej Bahadur Sahib, with Prime Minister in attendance. Wedding bells ringing in Pawar household Wedding festivities at the Pawar household seem far from over. Even before the euphoria over the recent wedding of Dy CM Ajit Pawars nephew Yugendra Pawars to Taniska Kulkarni could settle, another event is on the horizon. This time, DCMs Ajit Pawars younger son Jay Pawar is all set to tie the knot on December 8, not in India, but in Bahrain. The celebrations is scheduled to be a four-day affair and include musical evenings, Mehndi and exchange of vows to say the least. Approximately 400 guests are expected to assemble in Bahrain for the destination wedding. According to sources in the Pawar family, other eligible bachelors of the family are also waiting eagerly for their special moments. Buzz about Cabinet reshuffle growing louder After the state local body elections, there is a growing buzz about a potential cabinet reshuffle. According to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, there is no vacancy in his cabinet. However, a reshuffle is being considered to replace the underperforming ministers with fresh and competent individuals. In addition to it, through this exercise, Fadnavis wants to get rid of the ministers with tarnished reputations and corruption scandals, as their negative behaviour is denting the image of his government.
