Now less than a week is left for the voting date for the Maharashtra Assembly elections. In such a situation, all the political parties are engaged in election campaign with full force. However, just before the voting, Shiv Sena UBT, a party of Mahavikas Aghadi, has taken a big political step. Shiv Sena (UBT) has staked claim to the post of Chief Minister. It is believed that this move of Uddhav Thackeray’s party can further deepen the dispute in Mahavikas Aghadi.
What is the whole matter?
Actually, an advertisement has been given by Shiv Sena (UBT) in Saamana newspaper today. It is written in this advertisement – Mashal will come, the leadership of Kutumb Pramukh will come in Maharashtra. Shiv Sena (UBT) is continuously promoting Uddhav Thackeray as Kutumb Pramukh i.e. head of the family. Thackeray Sena officially staking claim to the post of Chief Minister a week before the voting in Maharashtra can cause a dispute in MVA.
Uddhav faction staked claim to CM.
Shinde targeted Uddhav
On the other hand, state Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde has targeted Uddhav Thackeray fiercely. During an election rally on Monday, Shinde took a dig at Uddhav and said that the election symbol of Shiv Sena (UBT) ‘Mashal’ is just setting houses on fire. Along with this, Shinde also mentioned the Muslim vote bank and said that the Muslim vote growing in his favor will soon dissipate.
