Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut is well known for criticising the BJP and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis regularly, but he ended up praising Fadnavis on Friday in Mumbai, surprising several political observers.
Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena workers barged into the South Mumbai office of a company on Friday and took to task a Bihari manager who used to allegedly mentally harass a Maharashtrian employee and kept saying "Ek Bihari sab pe bhaari" (one Bihari is enough to dominate everybody).
Shiv Sena (UBT) President Uddhav Thackeray has asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday to either apologise for Union Minister Amit Shah’s comments on Dr B R Ambedkar, or quit his post.
Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut has accused Ajit-Pawar-led NCP leader Praful Patel of orchestrating efforts to split Sharad Pawar-led NCP.
Shiv Sena leader and Maharashtra caretaker Chief Minister Eknath Shinde would never have had the guts to try delaying tactics and sulking against Maharashtra CM frontrunner Devendra Fadnavis unless he had the backing of some 'Mahashakti' (superpower) in Delhi, Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut said in Delhi on Tuesday.
The bench said, "Keeping in view the mind of urgency that has been created, we will want to hear the matter today".
Besides, independent MLAs might approach Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari very soon.
The ED had also attached immovable properties worth Rs 11.15 crore, including a flat at Dadar, held by Raut's wife Varsha and eight land parcels at Kihim near Alibag, jointly held by the latter with Swapna Patkar, in connection with the redevelopment scam.
The plea also challenges the appointment of Ajay Chaudhary as the Shiv Sena's legislative leader in the House in place of Shinde.
The Uddhav Thackeray faction recently submitted a plea before the Maharashtra Assembly deputy speaker to disqualify 12 rebel MLAs.
