Uddhav Thackeray Criticizes Amit Shah’s Comments on Babasaheb Ambedkar
Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray did not hold back in his criticism of Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s recent remarks on Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. Thackeray, addressing a press conference in Mumbai, boldly accused the BJP of disrespecting the revered figures of Maharashtra, including Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Dr. Ambedkar. He expressed his concern over Shah’s comments, emphasizing that they reflect the arrogance of the BJP.
Thackeray Calls Out BJP’s Arrogance
Thackeray did not mince words in pointing out what he perceived as the BJP’s arrogance. He firmly stated that Shah’s remarks on Dr. Ambedkar were not made in isolation but with the support of the BJP and the RSS. Thackeray highlighted the need for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take action against Shah for his controversial statements. The former Maharashtra CM’s strong stance against the BJP’s alleged disrespect towards icons like Dr. Ambedkar resonated throughout his press conference.
Political Meetings in Nagpur
In a surprising turn of events, Uddhav Thackeray and his MLA son, Aaditya Thackeray, met with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar in Nagpur. The meeting, held on the premises of Vidhan Bhavan, seemed to focus on bridging political divides and fostering cooperation for the benefit of Maharashtra’s citizens. Aaditya emphasized the importance of political maturity and working together, hinting at a potential shift in the political landscape.
Winter Session Developments
As the winter session of the state legislature unfolds in Nagpur, the absence of a Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the 15th legislative assembly becomes more apparent. With none of the Maha Vikas Aghadi parties meeting the 10% seat threshold in the recent polls, the political dynamics within the assembly remain uncertain. Thackeray’s meetings and discussions with key political figures indicate a potential reconfiguration of alliances and strategies in Maharashtra’s political arena.
The unfolding events, from Thackeray’s bold critique of Amit Shah to the unexpected political meetings in Nagpur, paint a vivid picture of the current state of Maharashtra’s political landscape. As leaders navigate through intricate relationships and power dynamics, the fate of the state hangs in a delicate balance, awaiting the next decisive move that could shape its future.
