The political atmosphere is heated regarding the civic elections in Maharashtra. Meanwhile, senior Congress leader Nana Patole has launched a scathing attack on the Mahayuti government and BJP. Talking to IANS in Nagpur, on the news of BJP and AIMIM coming together in the Municipal Corporation elections, he said that this has revealed the real face of both the parties.

Nana Patole said that Congress is contesting the elections of 29 metropolitan municipalities of Maharashtra with full strength. He claimed that Congress has not made any illegal alliance anywhere and the party has entered the election field strictly with its ideology. Patole said that with the coming together of BJP and AIMIM it has become clear that there is no difference between the two. He sarcastically said that earlier Congress used to call AIMIM the ‘B team’ of BJP, but now both are seen openly together.

Such statements are given only to do Hindu-Muslim politics – Nana Patole

Responding to Nitish Rane’s statement related to Pakistan and Quran, Patole said that such statements are given only to do Hindu-Muslim politics and now this thing has become clear to the public. On the possibility of Thackeray brothers coming together, Patole said that Congress has no objection if two brothers or uncle-nephew come together. He also gave the example of Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar.

The democratic system is being weakened – Nana

Accusing Mahayuti, Patole said that pressure is being exerted on the strength of power. Only money is being misused and the democratic system is being weakened.

Voting is being held in various parts of Maharashtra on Tuesday (December 2) for the elections of local self-government bodies. Voting is going on for 246 municipalities and 42 nagar panchayats of the state. But at many places cash has been seized around the polling stations. Where was this cash seized?

BJP leader Pandurang Chillawa, father of Amol Chillawar, BJP corporator candidate for Rajura Municipality, Division 4 of Chandrapur district, and BJP leader Pandurang Chillawa have been accused of distributing Rs 500-500 notes to voters during voting.

A video of this has also gone viral. Congress leader Suraj Thackeray has complained about this to the election department. It is being told that this money was being distributed from the flour mill shed located behind the house of the Chillawar family.

Cash seized in Matheran

Cash worth Rs 5 lakh has been seized during the election process in Matheran municipal area of ​​Raigad district. Interrogation of the arrested youth is going on. The young man says that this is the hotel’s money, but Matheran police is investigating the matter in depth.

Doubt over distribution of money in Akola district

A debate took place between representatives of BJP and other candidates over suspicion of distribution of money in Akot in Akola district. The dispute escalated into a scuffle and the police intervened. The incident took place outside the polling booth of Municipal Council Urdu Senior Primary School near the bus stand of Akot city.

Representatives of opposition candidates alleged that money was being distributed outside the BJP booth. Akot city police has detained one person in this case. Shinde faction Shiv Sena’s city president candidate Chanchal Pitambarwale alleged that BJP people are distributing money with the blessings of the administration.

Cash worth Rs 50 thousand seized

Cash worth Rs 50,000 was seized while distributing money to voters in Mahebub Nagar, Division 7 of Khamgaon town of Buldhana. Three people who distributed the money absconded. Along with the cash, a dummy ballot paper of BJP candidate Laxman Aylani was also found.

Allegation of distributing money near the booth

During the voting in Majalgaon town of Beed, there was an allegation of distribution of money near the booth. This led to a big dispute and fight between the two groups. The police immediately intervened and detained people from both the parties.

Before the civic elections in Maharashtra, especially BMC elections, Congress has announced that the party will contest the elections alone on its own. That is, Congress wants to separate from the opposition alliance Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA) and enter the electoral fray. The reason for this is the coming together of the Thackeray brothers and especially the displeasure with Raj Thackeray. However, Congress has no rift with Sharad Pawar. In such a situation, will Sharad Pawar also have to bear the loss of resentment from Thackeray brothers?

Amidst all these questions, on the morning of Wednesday, November 19, a picture emerged which has intensified the stir in the political circles of Maharashtra. In fact, regarding the BMC elections, a delegation of Mumbai Congress reached NCP chief Sharad Pawar’s residence Silver Oak to meet him.

In this Congress delegation led by Varsha Gaikwad, Amin Patel, Aslam Shaikh and Jyoti Gaikwad reached Sharad Pawar’s residence. It is believed that this meeting has taken place to discuss the strategies of the alliance before the upcoming local body elections.

Congress does not want an alliance between Sharad Pawar and Thackeray brothers?

It is being speculated that there could be many angles to this meeting between senior Congress leaders and Sharad Pawar. First of all, Congress is trying to ensure that Sharad Pawar’s NCP stays in alliance with them on some seats and does not make alliance with Uddhav-Raj Thackeray.

Congress does not want that without it the MVA alliance will now become an alliance of Uddhav-Raj and Sharad Pawar. In such a situation, Congress will try to ensure that Sharad Pawar also breaks the alliance with Uddhav Thackeray.

Will Congress compromise on the decision to fight alone?

Now the question arises that when Congress has already announced on several occasions that it has to field candidates on all the seats in the civic elections on its own, then why does it now want to meet Sharad Pawar and form an alliance? Will Congress withdraw its decision to fight alone?

Will Sharad Pawar also leave Uddhav Thackeray?

Due to the meeting of Congress leaders and Sharad Pawar, it is also being speculated that NCP-SP can now decide on the strategy for the civic elections with Congress. It is certain that Congress will not contest the elections with Uddhav Thackeray. In such a situation, will Sharad Pawar also leave the Thackeray brothers?

Answers to all these questions can be found only after the official statement of senior party leaders, but till now neither Uddhav Thackeray-Raj Thackeray, nor Sharad Pawar nor any Congress leader has made any statement regarding the status of MVA. In such a situation, the situation of the opposition alliance party is in confusion.

Big news is coming out from the politics of Maharashtra. The reason for the displeasure of the ministers of Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde has come to light. To find a solution to this, a big decision has also been taken between Shiv Sena and BJP. In fact, senior BJP leaders have assured Eknath Shinde that no leader or worker of his party will join BJP.

Amidst the ongoing rift between Shiv Sena and BJP, this big news is coming that BJP has claimed that no Shiv Sena worker will be included in BJP. There will also be a meeting of senior leaders of Shiv Sena and BJP on this issue in the next two days.

Devendra Fadnavis gave assurance to Eknath Shinde

In this meeting to be held before the Maharashtra civic elections, it will be discussed which districts have conflicts in Mahayuti and how to find a solution to it. Both the leaders have assured each other that at the time of elections, the principle of alliance will be followed by both the parties.

Let us tell you, many workers from Thane, Kalyan Dobinwali, Palghar, which are considered to be the stronghold of Eknath Shinde, were planning to join BJP. Due to this resentment, Eknath Shinde’s ministers had boycotted the cabinet meeting of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

Shiv Sena ministers did not attend the cabinet meeting

When the cabinet meeting was going on, Shiv Sena ministers did not reach the meeting room and sat in CM Fadnavis’ office. Only Eknath reached Shinde’s meeting. After this, Shiv Sena ministers met CM Fadnavis and explained the reason for their displeasure.

What was the outcome of the talks between Shiv Sena and BJP?

After not attending the meeting, Eknath Shinde’s ministers met Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and said that they are angry that Shiv Sena leaders are being included in BJP. On this, CM Fadnavis explained that Shiv Sena had started in Ulhasnagar. If Shinde group does it then it is right and if BJP does it then it is wrong, how is this possible?

After this, CM Fadnavis clearly said that from now on each other’s workers will not be given entry in both the parties, but both the parties will have to follow this rule. Shiv Sena and BJP have agreed on this matter.

Elections for local self-government bodies, municipalities and panchayats are going to be held in Maharashtra in the coming few months. Before this, now a big news has come out. According to information received from sources, the formula of Mahayuti has been decided for the municipal elections. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has given important information in this regard. Elections for local bodies will be held in the state soon. But considering the current political situation, these elections have become a question of prestige. Therefore, there is curiosity among all parties regarding these elections.

The situation was not clear till now

Till now it was not clear whether these elections will be fought in the form of grand alliance of BJP, Shiv Sena, nationalist group and Mahavikas Aghadi ‘Shiv Sena Thackeray group, Congress, Nationalist Sharad Pawar group’ or the parties will contest on their own.

Senior leaders of Mahayuti had claimed that the elections would be fought only as an alliance, but at many places local officials were giving slogans of contesting the elections on their own. In many municipal corporations, workers of BJP, Shiv Sena and Nationalist had expressed their desire to contest elections on their own.

Mahayuti formula decided for elections

In such a situation, the question was arising whether the three parties would fight together or separately? Meanwhile, now big news has come. According to sources, the Mahayuti formula for the municipal elections has been decided. In Mumbai, all three parties BJP, Shiv Sena and nationalist will contest elections together. Whereas in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad, BJP will contest elections on its own.

No final decision has been taken yet regarding Thane Municipal Corporation elections. Fadnavis said that possibilities of fighting the elections unitedly in Thane are being explored. He also said that ‘wherever the opponents can benefit, we will fight together as a Mahayuti.’

Suspense continues in Mahavikas Aghadi

Meanwhile, no clear decision has been taken by Mahavikas Aghadi regarding local body elections. On the other hand, the discussion of a possible alliance between Raj Thackeray’s MNS and Shiv Sena Thackeray faction is also intensifying. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether Raj Thackeray will go with Mahavikas Aghadi in the upcoming local elections or not.

On one hand, there seems to be a rift in the India alliance amid Bihar elections. Due to lack of consensus on seats, Hemant Soren’s Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) has decided to separate from the alliance and fight alone. It is believed that this may also affect the India alliance in Jharkhand. At the same time, now in the third state i.e. Maharashtra also the opposition alliance seems to be fading.

On one hand, Uddhav Thackeray is trying to include his brother Raj Thackeray in Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA), while on the other hand, Congress is planning to end this alliance. In fact, before the Maharashtra civic elections, Congress leader Bhai Jagtap has announced that the party can contest alone.

‘There will be no alliance with Uddhav Thackeray’- Bhai Jagtap

Congress leader Bhai Jagtap has also given a big statement. Talking to ABP News, he said that Congress will not join hands with Raj Thackeray and will not contest elections in alliance with Uddhav Thackeray. Bhai Jagtap has clearly said – “You are not going with Uddhav Thackeray. Forget about Raj Thackeray.”

‘Congress will not go with Raj Thackeray at all’- Varsha Gaikwad

Apart from this, amid speculations about Raj Thackeray joining Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA), Mumbai Congress President Varsha Gaikwad, without taking the name of Raj Thackeray’s party, said, “We will not go with those who do not believe in the Constitution and the law.”

Varsha Gaikwad further said, “Crackers are being burst in Diwali but some people are trying to burst crackers in politics but the crackers turned out to be chaff. We are ready to burst bombs and people will support it.” Regarding Raj Thackeray, the Congress leader said that we will not go with those who do not believe in the Constitution of the country.
