Are Political Parties In Maharashtra Treating Voters Fairly?

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 19, 20220

The BJP has pulled their candidate from the upcoming by-election in Andheri, Maharashtra. It's the first major election in the state since the MVA administration fell because to infighting within the Shiv Sena. As a result of the BJP's vote, the Uddhav Thackeray faction of Shiv Sena's nominee, Rutuja Latke, is virtually certain of victory. Ramesh Latke, the victor of the last election, has passed away, necessitating a by-election. BJP withdrew their candidate after being publicly lobbied by rival political parties to do so. The reason for this is that it is the political custom in Maharashtra to provide uncontested victories to the surviving relatives of candidates who have passed away. There is a catch here. Among the lawmakers that asked the BJP to withdraw its candidate was Sh...

BJP Has More Cards In Its Hand Than Uddhav Has In Maha BMC Showdown

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 7, 20220

Large audiences during Dussehra rallies held by Shiv Sena's Eknath Shinde and Uddhav Thackeray factions served as a teaser for the main event, the BMC elections. It is estimated that Shinde has the backing of 40 or more MLAs and more than a dozen MPs. How much influence does he actually have on the cadre, though? Shinde needed to demonstrate his credibility by performing well in Mumbai, which is considered Thackeray territory. Now the two camps can only hope they score well in the only test that matters: the polls. In 2017, Shiv Sena narrowly defeated the BJP for control of BMC, with a final score of 84 to 82. That was proof of how far the BJP had come in Mumbai. The Sena's internal strife may have given the BJP a greater opportunity to seize control of India's wealthiest local gove...

Thackeray Tree Sees Another Flower In Maharashtra Politics: Check Out What Leads Ahead

Vikas DeshwalJuly 25, 20220

Amid the continuing political theatre in Maharashtra, which saw Shinde revolting against the one-time chief minister and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, Amit Thackeray said he is not contesting with anyone. As Shiv Sena’s Shiv Sanik Aaditya Thackeray is on a Maharashtra excursion to ensure the future of his party Shiv Sena which is working following the revolution by current CM of Maharashtra Eknath Shinde, his uncle and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray’s son Amit Thackeray has been silently proceeding around the Maharastra for the last two months in his “Mahasampark Abhiyan” – a request to rebuild a nearly extinct student branch of his group. “My request to youthful boys and girls is that they should enter our student branch as we are the only party, which offe

Digging Deep To Dissect The Colossal Chaos In Maharashtra

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 15, 20220

The BJP-Shiv Sena combo won India's 2019 parliamentary and Maharashtra state legislature elections. Every seat has a poster of Narendra Modi or Devendra Fadnavis. Both parties' candidates lauded the double-engine sarkar's quick expansion, iron-fisted law and order, and focus on Hindu nationalism. Even Uddhav Thackeray attended rallies where the BJP's national leadership promised that Modi and Fadnavis will rule the government if Maharashtra was re-elected. Sharad Pawar, Sonia Gandhi, and Sanjay Raut urged Uddhav Thackeray to forge an artificial coalition with the NCP and Congress. Thackeray's NCP and Congress allies rapidly took control, leaving Thackeray and his son Aaditya as bystanders. Maharashtra had three years of NCP-Congress governance before 2014, and it saw frequent ter...

‘Dummy Cars, Government On Dialysis Don’t Persist For Long’: Union Minister On Maharashtra Government Collapse

Alankrati VermaJune 27, 20220

Union Minister for Minority Affairs, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi stated on Thursday that ‘dummy cars and a government on dialysis do not persist for very long'. He said so because of the political situation in Maharashtra, where the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government is struggling to hold on to power. Naqvi spoke with the media after casting his vote in the Rampur Lok Sabha by-election about this situation. During the talk, on a question about what will emerge in Maharashtra, he used the renowned "Mughal-e-Azam" song's famous couplet, "Jab raat hai aisi matwali to subah ka alam kya hoga." After the revolt of several Shiv Sena members, the survival of the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress government in Maharashtra is in doubt. Moreover, Abbas Naqvi stated that BJP has made all necessary preparation

Maharashtra Diary: It’s Time To Dispel ‘Magic Number’, ‘Anti-Defection’ Misconceptions

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 27, 20220

A solution to the Shiv Sena's dissidence dilemma has yet to be found. Opposition lawmakers in the state and TV anchors parked outside the Radisson Blu hotel in Guwahati are ecstatic over the growing number of dissidents. However, amid all this drama, most politicians and the media have shattered the weak anti-defection rule, resulting in a great deal of uncertainty. Everyone is talking about the number 37 like it's some kind of mystical potion. It is assumed that the dissident group of Eknath Shinde may avoid disqualification if it can get the support of at least 37 MLAs, or two-thirds of the party's 55 lawmakers. When it comes to the initial legislation on defection, the Constitution's 10th Schedule, most individuals conveniently forget about things they should have known about. Def...

Uddhav Thackeray’s Plight Deteriorates As Shiv Sena-Maha Vikas Aghadi Situation Aggravates

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 23, 20220

Shiv Sena's and the Maharashtra MVA government's woes are exacerbated by the fact that both his party and the coalition's clever players seemed naive when Eknath Shinde's revolt became clear. It's worth noting that Maharashtra's home minister is an NCP member; given the way police and politics interact, one could wonder whether Sena was informed by NCP that some 20 or so MLAs were about to defect to BJP-ruled Gujarat. Sharad Pawar loves to remain on top of the game no matter what happens in Maharashtra politics, and he regularly does so. Pawar's involvement might be intriguing if the drama over the future of MVA begins to unfold and if the BJP makes a strong drive for government formation. The fact that Uddhav Thackeray had a strong track record as an administrator and that the M...

Shiv Sena Alliance With NCP-Congress: Uddhav Thackeray In A Pivotal Role For Eknath Shinde’s Rebellion

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 23, 20220

Uddhav Thackeray's desperation to be Maharashtra's Chief Minister led to Saffron Shiv Sena becoming a supporter of the NCP-Congress, and he did so in order to raise his son as a potential rival to the dynamic Devendra Fadnavis, who had already proven his mettle as a leader and administrator during his time as Chief Minister from 2014 to 2019. During the 1992 riots, the Shiv Sena was popularly seen as a protector of Hindu interests since its members had been reared on the Hindutva ideology of Balasaheb Thackeray from infancy. Uddhav Thackeray, the leader of the NCP-Congress, suddenly begged the aggressive Shiv Sainik, who saw in his idols Shivaji Maharaj and Bal Thackeray the epitome of nationalism and Hindu cultural values, to support the NCP-Congress. Immediately, Shiv Sainiks f...

Gunjan ChaudharyJanuary 31, 20220

Social worker Anna Hazare has strongly opposed the sale of wine in malls, supermarkets and grocery stores in Maharashtra. He said on Monday that this decision of the state government is unfortunate. Hazare, a veteran social worker, said, "It is the government's responsibility to motivate people to quit drugs, but I am surprised to know that the state government is taking such decisions for financial benefits."

This will give additional income to the farmers. Defending the decision of the state government, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut had said that...

“Committed A Blunder”: Shiv Sena On Decades-Old Alliance With BJP

Monomita NagJanuary 29, 20220

Maharashtra chief minister and Shiv Sena chief Uddav Thackeray lamented that their 25 years of alliance with the BJP was a mere waste. He said this speaking on the 96th birth anniversary of the party founder Bal Thackeray. Hinting at the wider activity of the party, he emphasized that now his party is trying for a national role, expanding its footprints in other states. Waging a tirade against BJP, Thackeray pointed out that after the two parties, Shiv Sena and Akali Dal severed their relationship with the NDA alliance, BJP has become weak as their support base has shrunk. Thackeray came out openly and explained that when they aligned with BJP and supported the party wholeheartedly, they had a clear objective. He said, "We wanted them to move nationally and that they will allow...
