Addressing a public meeting in Maharashtra's Nandurbar, PM Modi said that in Maharashtra fake Shiv Sena is roaming around with a bomb blast convict on their shoulders
In addition, the cabinet has also approved the renaming of 8 British-era railway stations in Mumbai area. Also, a proposal to construct a sea link between Uttan (Bhayander) and Virar (Palghar) has been passed.
Criticising the erstwhile Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA govt for its failures, Shinde stressed the importance of fieldwork over social media activism. “Work face-to-face rather than going live on Facebook,” he said.
This is the third time in a decade that the state has introduced legislation for the Maratha quota. Previous govt's similar provision was struck down by the SC.
Shinde drew parallels between the sentiments expressed by Milind Deora on the current occasion and the emotions he himself experienced 1.5 years ago when he severed ties with then Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray.
According to The Gazetteers of Bombay Presidency, in the 18th century, the Maratha Confederecy sent offerings to the shrine as the departure of the British was "ascribed to the power of the saint".
Eknath Shinde said, "It would not be surprising if they (Shiv Sena-UBT) ally with the Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM, and embrace terrorist organisations like Hamas, Hizbul Mujahideen, and Lashkar-e-Taiba for their selfish purposes and power."
