Maharashtra Politics, Uddhav Thackeray: Maharashtra is a state in the country where political instability has been seen in recent years. Alliances were formed and broken, along with this governments also kept changing. Now once again a big political equation is being prepared in the state. Yes, this time Uddhav Thackeray is going to play a big political game by taking U-turn. If he joins NDA, the tension of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde will increase.
Maharashtra Politics, Uddhav Thackeray NDA news: Seat sharing has not yet taken place among the constituent parties in the NDA regarding the Lok Sabha elections in Maharashtra, there are indications of a major upheaval before that. Yes, before the Lok Sabha elections, Uddhav Thackeray’s faction Shiv Sena is said to be in contact with BJP. According to sources, the Thackeray faction of Shiv Sena has become active in joining the BJP alliance again. This may deal a blow to the Congress led India Alliance. Already many of his allies in UP and Bihar have joined BJP. Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde may also feel the second blow.
A few months ago, Uddhav Thackeray ran the government in Maharashtra with the support of Congress and NCP. Later there was a split between NCP and Shiv Sena. Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar became isolated in their respective parties. Now, if such efforts are being made from Uddhav’s side, then there may be an earthquake in the Mahavikas Aghadi of the state. It is believed that Uddhav Thackeray is in a mood to turn the tables by taking a U-turn.
Thackeray group leaders Aditya Thackeray and Rashmi Uddhav Thackeray had recently come to Delhi and met Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Shinde faction Shiv Sena spokesperson and cabinet minister Deepak Kesarkar has claimed that some media has published such news.
What will happen to Shinde?
Such a reversal is important before the Lok Sabha elections because if the Shiv Sena Thackeray group once again joins the NDA, the political equations in the state will change. The biggest worry will be for current CM Eknath Shinde because he was the one who broke Shiv Sena and formed a new party. Questions are being raised that if the Thackeray faction of Shiv Sena joins BJP, then what will be the role of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena? Will there be a merger of both Shiv Sena or will a new player be played in Maharashtra?
On the other hand, Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi President Prakash Ambedkar has asked many questions to the Thackeray faction included in the Mahavikas Aghadi. According to the report, he has written a letter asking Uddhav Sena and Pawar’s NCP to guarantee that they will not join NDA after the elections.
48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra
There is speculation that there may be a big shift in the politics of Maharashtra due to seat sharing in NDA. There are 48 Lok Sabha seats in the state. It is coming out from within the NDA that there may be a change of seats in some Lok Sabha seats. Even BJP has tension regarding seat sharing.
On the other hand, clouds of crisis have engulfed the politics of Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray. His party and election symbol have all been snatched away. Meanwhile, Shinde faction has claimed that Uddhav and Sharad Pawar are thinking about their families.
Laddu in both hands of BJP
If the speculations prove to be true then after Uddhav Thackeray comes back to NDA, there may be a merger of both the Shiv Sena factions. It is also possible that at the behest of BJP, Uddhav Thackeray runs the party and for the time being, Eknath Shinde remains on the post of CM because if this does not happen then the merger may not be possible. The situation in Maharashtra may become more clear in the next 1-2 days.
It is a situation of laddu in both hands for BJP. Yes, Uddhav Thackeray’s entry into NDA will bring relief to BJP because currently both its allies, Ajit Pawar’s NCP and Shinde’s Shiv Sena, are demanding more seats. After the arrival of Uddhav, the bargaining power of both the allies will reduce.
