Before the municipal elections in Maharashtra, all the parties are putting all their efforts. Now 3 days are left for voting and the election campaign will also stop tomorrow i.e. on 13th January, hence on 11th January, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) President Raj Thackeray held a joint rally in Mumbai.

In this rally, both the leaders attacked the alleged ‘fake Hindutva’ of BJP and said that the threat looming over Mumbai has united them politically. It was described as the last joint rally in Mumbai before the municipal elections to be held on January 15, where both the brothers termed themselves the only option to save the city.

Appeal to save Marathi people and Mumbai

Addressing the rally, Uddhav Thackeray said that he and Raj Thackeray have forgotten their old differences in the interest of Marathi people, Hindus and Maharashtra. He claimed that in the current situation, it was necessary for both of them to come together to save Mumbai. Uddhav said that this fight is not just for power, but for the identity and future of Mumbai.

He appealed to the voters to elect a leadership that can protect the interests of the city and the state. Thackeray said that if the civic body remains in his hands, any external pressure on Mumbai’s properties can be prevented.

BJP accused of looting and annexing Mumbai

Addressing the Marathi vote bank, Raj Thackeray said that both the brothers have come together because Mumbai is facing a serious threat. He alleged that BJP is trying to ‘loot’ Mumbai and link it with Gujarat. According to PTI, citing the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, Raj said that the long-term plan is to connect Mumbai with Gujarat. He warned that if BMC remained with him, he would not be able to sell the land to the industrialist.

Questions on BJP’s Hindutva and nationalism

Describing this election as the last election of Marathi people, Raj Thackeray said that if a mistake is made now, the battle of Mumbai will be lost forever. After this, while addressing the rally, Uddhav Thackeray raised the question whether BJP wants to change the name of Mumbai to ‘Bombay’. He met Tamil Nadu BJP leader K. Made this allegation citing Annamalai’s comments. Accusing BJP of doing divisive politics before the elections, Uddhav said that BJP’s Hindutva and nationalism are fake. He said that BJP has now become a party which instead of putting the nation first, puts corruption first.

In Jalgaon, on October 6, NCP (SP faction) MLA Rohit Pawar has launched a big attack on Maharashtra government and BJP. He accused Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis of trying to eliminate Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde politically.

Pawar said that whichever BJP comes close, it gradually eliminates it politically. He warned that the government is turning away from the issues of farmers and this is a threat to the state.

Center accused of bias, raised the issue of farmers ignoring

Rohit Pawar accused the central government of giving preference to Gujarat and ignoring the farmers of Maharashtra. He said that the Center gave assistance of Rs 1000 crore to Gujarat without proposal, while the farmers of Maharashtra were ignored. According to IANS, Pawar said that in the last eight years, the farmers of the state paid Rs 1 lakh crore as GST, but they did not get any relief. He said that promises were made before the elections, but after the election, the farmers were forgotten.

Questions about Amit Shah’s visit and action on leaders

Rohit Pawar also targeted Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to Ahilyanagar. He said that people hoped that Shah would announce 10 thousand crore rupees for farmers, but no help was offered. At the same time, he described the investigation against Rohini Khadse by BJP as a conspiracy.

Pawar said that BJP is doing politics to trap Bahujan leaders, families are being threatened. He said that Manikrao Kokate is busy playing online gambling instead of working for farmers and does not even answer the questions asked in the assembly.

Pawar’s statements from political sarcasm to sports

Commenting on Gulabrao Patil, Pawar said that the leaders who were once in Mahavikas Aghadi are now bowing before the BJP. He alleged that the BJP is making a strategy to fight the election independent to weaken the opposition.

At the same time, while commenting on cricket, Rohit Pawar said that it is sad to remove Rohit Sharma from the Indian team and make Shubman Gill captain. He praised Team India’s performance in the Asia Cup and said that the players increased the honor of the country by winning against Pakistan.
