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.

Varsha gaikwad on dharavi redeveloopment project: The decision to give the land of Kurla Mother Dairy for the rehabilitation of the residents of Dharavi under the Dharavi Redevelopment Project in Mumbai is being opposed by the citizens. In this regard, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis has written a letter and informed about his opposition.

In the letter, Congress MP Varsha Gaikwad has written that under the Dharavi redevelopment project, the residents of Dharavi are going to be rehabilitated on the land of Mother Dairy in Kurla, not in Dharavi. Such a decision has been taken by the state government. Keeping in mind the interests of the developer, the terms and conditions have been changed to give the land of Kurla Mother Dairy, considered environmentally sensitive to the Dharavi redevelopment project.

Botanical Garden should be established

Varsha Gaikwad wrote in the letter that Kurla residents are being strongly opposed by the Kurla residents of Kurla Mother Dairy. There is a demand of the citizens that the Botanical Garden (Botanical Park) should be established there by not giving the land of Mother Dairy to the Dharavi redevelopment project. There are more than one thousand precious trees in this area and this area is very important in terms of environmental balance.

Government accused of not paying attention to the demand of citizens

According to the letter, protest rally, agitation and signature campaigns are being conducted by citizens for several days to save this land. But the government is not paying serious attention to this. Ignoring the opposition of the citizens, the government has decided to give this land to the Dharavi redevelopment project. Due to this, citizens are angry and make the movement more intense.

Therefore, this decision taken by the government is being strongly opposed by the government, ignoring public sentiments and environmental issues without taking citizens in confidence. We make a humble request to you on behalf of the citizens that this decision should be immediately canceled and set up a botanical garden at that place.
