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.
Bhosle-Shinde further said that the victim's male friend was also brutally assaulted and there have been arrests in the incident which happened on Thursday and resulted in a huge political furore.
SP Dattatreya Shinde on Wednesday said it was a suspected case of suicide although a probe was on to confirm it.
Raising slogans of 'Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ki Jai, the Sainiks trooped onto the landscaped garden, planted saffron flags and uprooted AAHL's new hoarding erected near the huge statue of the great Maratha warrior-king before stomping out of there.
The Shiv Sena scoffed at the BJP, saying "people who threaten the party are light-weight lowly ruffians, who simply just cannot digest the Sena Flag fluttering atop the Sena Bhavan".
"Mamata Banerjee has become the first state to probe the Pegagus snoopgate. Her move is right. It has jolted the Centre and will wake up others," the Sena said.
