Uddhav Thackeray’s episode is a reminder of what NTR faced in 1995 Uddhav Thackeray’s story is similar to what megastar NT Rama Rao faced in 1995. NTR went down badly and even died as a disillusioned leader in January 1996, allegedly for want of good medical care. .......... On August 26, 1995, nine months into his third term as chief minister of Andhra, his son-in-law and trusted lieutenant Chandrababu Naidu rebelled against him. Naidu defended his coup, saying he had been forced to act against his father-in-law because of NTR’s second wife Lakshmi Parvathi’s growing influence in party affairs and the state government. Lakshmi Parvathi was NTR’s biographer, and he had married her in 1993, much against his family’s wishes. ......... On that August day, Hyderabad saw the 72-year-old actor running amok on the city’s streets with a metaphoric dagger in his back to demonstrate that he had been betrayed and backstabbed. Suddenly, NTR was a nobody; his fall as dramatic as his spectacular rise. Virtually all members of his family and most of the Telugu Desam Party’s (TDP) 200 legislators deserted the chief minister.
Maharashtra political crisis: What to expect today in the Uddhav Thackeray-Eknath Shinde war Maharashtra’s political crisis is deepening by the hour with the Eknath Shinde camp swelling and Uddhav Thackeray floundering as his Shiv Sena MLAs desert him. ......... Shinde wrote to Zirwal asserting his appointment as the leader of the Shiv Sena Legislature Party. ......... Shinde, hinting at the BJP's support for him, also said: "One national party which is a superpower has told me that whatever decision you have taken is historic and ensured us [rebel MLAs] that whatever help is needed, will be given."
Maharashtra political row: What could Sena rebel Eknath Shinde’s next move be? Rebel Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde said that he has the support of 40 out of the 55 Sena MLAs. Uncertainty looms over the MVA govt in Maharashtra led by Uddhav Thackerary. But, what is expected to happen next? ......... rebel leader Eknath Shinde. He has claimed that he has been backed by 40 out of 55 Shiv Sena MLAs. All of them are lodged in the Radisson Blu hotel in Guwahati, Assam.
Maharashtra crisis: As Sainiks fight, will Sena survive? Whether or not the MVA government will survive is not the question. The question is whether Uddhav Thackeray can save his Shiv Sena. ........ On Wednesday, rebel Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde, with a group of party MLAs, moved from Gujarat to Assam, from one BJP-ruled state to another, as the Maharashtra government continued to battle for survival. ........ From being the Sena chief whip, who ensured MLAs voted in the Legislative Assembly as the leadership wished, to being a man who changed the game in Maharashtra’s politics, Shinde has claimed the support of 40 of the 55 Sena MLAs and six Independents. ......... Shinde has said he and the other rebel MLAs will carry Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray's 'Hindutva' ideology forward. This is possible only when they go with the BJP and quit a coalition that also has the Congress, and its breakaway faction, the NCP, that the Sena founder fought tooth and nail. ....... The rebels have said they don’t have any issue with the Sena leadership but objected to the style of functioning of the NCP and the Congress.
Eknath Shinde, the man who changed the game in Maharashtra’s politics Eknath Shinde, an auto driver in Thane, lost two of his children in a tragic accident. His son and daughter drowned in Satara in front of his eyes. Shinde became reclusive and decided to stay away from politics. He was a Shiv Sena corporator back then. ........ After Raj Thackeray and Narayan Rane's revolt, it was Shinde who brought crowds to Sena rallies. During the 2019 political crisis, it was Shinde who wrestled back a few MLAs. ........ He was named Leader of the Opposition in 2014 after the Shiv Sena and the BJP fell out with each other....... He recently accompanied Maharashtra Minister Aaditya Thackeray on his trip to Ayodhya.
Uddhav Thackeray is to blame for Eknath Shinde rebellion Uddhav Thackeray felt that no one could challenge him as he was the party boss as well as the Chief Minister of the state and hence he was free to take decisions ignoring the wishes of lakhs of Shiv Sainiks who had toiled hard day and night to keep the saffron Sena flag flying. ....... Eknath Shinde is firm in his conviction that the Shiv Sena must ally with the BJP, return to Hindutva ideology and break all ties with the NCP-Congress. The fact that the vast majority of Shiv Sena MLAs, 40 out of a total 55, are currently with Shinde in Guwahati proves the wide resentment against Uddhav Thackeray, who ditched Hindutva ideology and broke the alliance with the BJP for the sake of power. Despite being CM, Thackeray could not inspire confidence nor keep his MLAs together. This proves he is an incapable leader and a poor administrator.
Can the russian movement be democratic? Very funny fake!😂😆

To mark the occasion and thank his fans for their love and support, the actor did an Instagram live session. He also talked about his upcoming film, Pathaan and spilt beans about its trailer and sequel. ......... Salman Khan will make a cameo appearance in the film.
'Have the will to fight back': Uddhav Thackeray amid rebellion by Eknath Shinde, Sena MLAs Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said he has the will to fight back amid the political crisis in the state...... They will not survive without using Thackeray and Shiv Sena's name," Uddhav Thackeray said in an address to Sena Vibhag Pramukhs on Friday.
Nobody is leaving party, Eknath Shinde chosen leader by majority: Sena rebel Deepak Kesarkar Shiv Sena MLA Deepak Vasant Kesarkar on Saturday said that rebel MLAs will not quit Shiv Sena and they possess a two-thirds majority to follow the path they wanted. The rebel MLA also claimed that there is no need to merge with any other party. ......... MLA Kesarkar said, "We are still a part of Shiv Sena. But sometimes MLAs have expectations. We had told the party president that we had taken a decision to stay with the alliance we fought polls with. We still believe Uddhav Thackeray will listen to us.
Uddhav Thackeray won't resign, will unleash Sena on streets: Sanjay Raut amid Maha drama Senior Sena leader Sanjay Raut issued an open warning to the Eknath Shinde-led rebel camp of unleashing Shiv Sainiks on the streets, adding that Uddhav Thackeray would not resign amid the ongoing political crisis in the state. ........ Raut told India Today, “This is the anger of the Shiv Sainiks. Fire once lit will not be doused. Shiv Sena will fight till the end,” as reports of vandalism emerged from different parts of Maharashtra and the office of a rebel Sena MLA was vandalised. ....... Raut also challenged Eknath Shinde and his camp to come back and face the party in Mumbai.
Maharashtra, Bihar, Assam, Goa: How BJP cut bigger allies to size The political crisis in Maharashtra is far from over. With many Sena MLAs reposing faith in rebel Eknath Shinde, Shiv Sena is looking at an uncertain future. ....... The political crisis in Maharashtra is pushing the dominant party of the state, Shiv Sena, to the brink of division with many Sena MLAs reposing faith in rebel Eknath Shinde defying the might of their chief, Uddhav Thackeray. On Wednesday, hours after announcing that he was prepared to resign, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray moved to his family home, Matoshree, leaving the ‘Varsha’ bungalow, which served as the CM’s official residence. ............ Eknath Shinde has claimed that 48 MLAs are with him out of which 42 belong to the Shiv Sena. If his claims are true, no one can do anything to stop the division of the party, which may be far bigger than the earlier ones. This is the largest internal uprising within the party, which has earlier seen blows by people, such as Chhagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, and Raj Thackeray. .......... The BJP claims that it is unrelated to the ongoing political unrest in Maharashtra. But we all know that the two BJP ruling states, Gujarat and Assam, were chosen to host the rebel Sena MLAs. ........ After the 2019 Maharashtra elections, the Shiv Sena broke with the BJP, and together with the NCP and the Congress, they formed the MVA government in the state. The Shiv Sena at that time cheated their pre-poll partner BJP, who were allies in Maharashtra since 1989. Now questions are being asked whether BJP is taking revenge for 2019 by assisting the splitting of the Shiv Sena. ........ There are instances that show that BJP tries to subdue their alliance partner. They manipulated the partnership to the saffron party's benefit. One of the biggest examples in recent times is that of CM Nitish Kumar's party, JD(U), which has been overtaken by the BJP in Bihar. ......... Now, after two-and-half years, the Shiv Sena is facing the biggest challenge to save their party from the biggest division due to the rebellion of Eknath Shinde, which claims the support of more than 40 Sena MLAs, which many political commentators rightly are pointing out is not possible without the assistance of BJP. ...... In the 2020 Assembly election in Bihar, both JD(U) and BJP fought the election together along with some smaller parties. JD(U) fought in 115 seats and BJP contested 110 seats. The BJP was able to win 74 seats, but the JD(U) won only 43 seats. Their alliance was able to form a government in the state under Nitish Kumar as the CM. Since November 2020, both parties have shared an anxious and edgy relationship. Nitish's views on population control, rewriting history books, the issue of prohibition, and caste censuses have made the BJP uncomfortable. In the protest over the Agnipath issue in Bihar, the state BJP leaders targeted CM Nitish Kumar. ......... The present position of JD(U) is the weakest since 2005. ......... Many doubt if the BJP will let Nitish Kumar serve out his current entire tenure or not. ....... The AGP's strength in the assembly decreased to 14 seats in 2016 from 67 seats in the assembly in 1985 and 59 seats in the 1996 elections. In the 2021 assembly elections, the BJP fought in 93 seats, winning 60 seats, and AFP contested in 29 seats and was able to win only 9 seats. It now seems that AGP is dependent on the BJP for its political survival. ............ Similar to the former Shiv Sena-BJP alliance in Maharashtra, the MGP, the oldest regional party in Goa, has had a tumultuous history with the BJP. The BJP under Pramod Sawant poached two of the MGP's three MLAs in 2019, while abruptly removing Dhavalikar from his position as deputy chief minister.
Maharashtra political row: What could Sena rebel Eknath Shinde’s next move be? He has claimed that he has been backed by 40 out of 55 Shiv Sena MLAs. All of them are lodged in the Radisson Blu hotel in Guwahati, Assam. ......... Eknath Shinde is likely to be elected as leader of the Shiv Sena rebels. They have claimed that they are the original Shiv Sena as they have more than two-thirds of MLAs in their camp. ........ Shinde might also approach Deputy Assembly Speaker Narhari Jhirwal with a request to recognise his group as the original Shiv Sena in the Assembly.
How successful has 'Operation Lotus' been in Modi era 'Operation Lotus' refers to the BJP's alleged strategy for gaining power in states where it lacked enough seats to form a government on its own. ......... While in power, the Congress lost Arunachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka to the BJP, which was able to wrest a number of its MLAs and form governments there. ........ Kamal Nath’s government was plunged into crisis when 22 Congress legislators, including six ministers, tendered their resignations. The development came after veteran Congress politician Jyotiraditya Scindia announced his resignation. A day after quitting Scindia joined BJP. .......... He further said, “three times, my government was able to demonstrate its majority in the house. It was intolerable to the BJP. Consequently, it intended to overthrow my government with the help of a maharaj (Jyotiraditya Scindia) and 22 opportunistic MLAs”. ............ With 17 seats, the Congress was the single-largest party after the elections, while the BJP got 13. The 'magic figure' that had to be achieved was 21. Despite falling short of this goal on its own, the BJP was able to gain power thanks to the Goa Forward Party, which switched sides after campaigning alongside the Congress throughout the elections. ......... In the year 2016, the BJP was successful in forming government in Arunachal Pradesh, even when in 60 members assembly, it had only '11' MLAs. A BJP government was installed after 33, out of 43 Peoples' Party of Arunachal (PPA) MLAs led by Chief Minister Pema Khandu, joined the saffron party. With majority of 44 MLAs BJP formed its own government in the state.
As Sena rebels float new group, Uddhav moves EC against misuse of Balasaheb’s name Shinde, who claims to have the support of over 40 MLAs, met BJP's Devendra Fadnavis in Gujarat's Vadodara last night to discuss possible government formation in Maharashtra. Home Minister Amit Shah was also in Vadodara last night ......... Amid all this, Sanjay Raut said that the party will "unleash Sena on streets" and will fight till the end. Raut also challenged Eknath Shinde and his camp to come back and face the party in Mumbai. Uddhav Thackeray's son and minister Aaditya Thackeray said this was a battle between truth and lies and the Sena would win.
