Before the civic elections in Maharashtra, former CM Uddhav Thackeray and MAS chief Raj Thackeray have come together. Meanwhile, there is a big question, what will be the nature of India alliance (MVA) in the state. Shiv Sena is included in the UBT chief Uddhav Thackeray India alliance and has reached the national capital to attend the meeting to be held in Delhi.

Prior to the meeting, Uddhav Thackeray was questioned about Raj Thackeray in the press conference. Journalists asked if his cousin Raj Thackeray would also attend the India alliance meeting and meet Rahul Gandhi? To this, Uddhav said, “Both of us are capable of what we have to do, we will both. We do not need any third. ”

He dismissed the speculation that his party would separate from the ‘India’ alliance after re -joining his cousin Raj Thackeray.

Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray appeared on a platform after 20 years on July 5. During this, Uddhav Thackeray had said that he will contest elections together in future. However, Raj Thackeray did not give any statement on this.

Questions raised from Raj Thackeray’s entry

Uddhav Thackeray is in an alliance with Congress and NCP (SP) in MVA. This alliance contested the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections together and the contest was Mahayuti. Now after the entry of Raj Thackeray, questions were arising whether Thackeray brothers will remain with Congress and Sharad Pawar’s MCP (SP) or will contest separate elections.

Maharashtra may have civic elections at the end of this year. Mahayuti will fight together in most cities. However, friendly fights can also be seen in some places.

Before the monsoon session of Parliament, the opposition parties are trying to form a strategy to surround the central government. The Congress has called an important meeting of the India alliance on 19 July, which will be led by Sonia Gandhi. The purpose of this meeting is to show the unity of the opposition and make a common strategy against the government. Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray will also attend this important meeting.

This is the first major meeting of the India alliance after the Lok Sabha elections. Uddhav Thackeray will reach Delhi, considering this meeting as necessary to unite national issues and meet leaders of other constituents including Congress.

Trying Congress – bringing all opposition parties on one platform
The Congress is trying to bring all opposition parties together in the meeting. There is a plan to seek response from the government in Parliament by consenting on shared issues. However, due to the increasing distance between the Congress and AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) after the Delhi elections, ‘AAP’ is considered to be away from this meeting.

Opposition’s aggressive trend before monsoon session
The monsoon session of Parliament is starting from July 21. Before that, the opposition wants to unite to surround the government. The Congress has already raised questions about the special revision of the voter list before the Bihar assembly elections and now there are signs of raising this issue in the monsoon session.

Meeting agenda – shared strategy and national issues
In this meeting to be held on July 19, the strategy of the opposition will be discussed. The government will be discussed on to make the government accountable, national security and other burning issues. Sonia Gandhi’s presence will give a message of solidarity in the opposition. The Congress wants the shared agenda of the opposition before the monsoon session so that the government is easy to surround Parliament.

There will be no benefit from just slogans or performance – so Congress is selecting issues carefully and is already trying to resolve possible differences. The issues on which the opposition will sought answers from the government, according to sources, the opposition will ask the government on which the government will ask for answers, they are –

Operation vermilion
In addition to the alleged claims of Donald Trump, Prime Minister Modi is mentioned, more issues have been set in the meeting of the Congress Parliamentary Strategy Committee. However, the Congress says that it does not want to impose its point on anyone and is ready to include the suggestions of fellow parties.

‘You’ will be away from meeting
After the Delhi elections, the distance between the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party has increased so much that now both do not want to share the stage together. According to sources, neither the Congress wants to formally invite this meeting to the Aam Aadmi Party nor does the AAP want to be a part of any Congress -led platform. The reason for this distance is being considered as mutual mistrust and different electoral strategy.

Before the civic elections in Maharashtra, the big question is what will happen to the alliance of opposition parties? Amid speculation, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief and former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said that before the local body elections, the meeting of India Alliance is more important than Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA).

He insisted, “India coalition has not met after the Lok Sabha elections. I want to meet as soon as possible. There are elections in Bihar, elections will be held in other states too, we also have body elections here.

Please tell that other opposition parties including Congress, SP, RJD, NCP (SP), Shiv Sena (UBT) and DMK formed India alliance before the Lok Sabha elections.

In Maharashtra, Congress, Sharad Pawar’s NCP (SP) and Shiv Sena (UBT) alliance are named Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). MVA fought the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections together.

Why the question on the alliance arising?

Now Uddhav Thackeray’s party is going to alliance with Raj Thackeray with MNS. In such a situation, questions are arising whether MVA will be? Will the Congress go to the field with Thackeray Brothers?

These questions started to rise faster when Thackeray Brothers appeared on one platform after 20 years on July 5. During this, Uddhav Thackeray said in front of Raj Thackeray that he will contest the upcoming elections together. Supriya Sule was present on this platform from NCP (SP). At the same time, the Congress remained away from this march.

The Congress had recently indicated that it could enter the civic elections alone. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut also said that India alliance was for the Lok Sabha elections and MVA was for the assembly. This was not an alliance for the local election.

Sharad Pawar’s party NCP (SP) has not yet cleared its stand regarding the alliance in the civic elections.
