Political Activity Intensifies in Maharashtra. Recent Meeting Between Raj Thackeray and Devendra Fadnavis Sparks Rumors. Meeting Said to be Based on Town Planning and Urban Development. Ajit Pawar Calls it a Courtesy Visit.
Maharashtra politics: Political activity is once again being observed in Maharashtra. In the past few months, Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray reconciled and shared a stage. Following this, speculation arose that the two might contest the municipal elections together. However, the political landscape has now taken a new turn. The recent meeting between Devendra Fadnavis and Raj Thackeray has fueled rumors.
Questions Arise from Fadnavis and Raj Thackeray Meeting
This meeting occurred at a time when questions had begun to arise about whether the two brothers would contest elections together again, following the defeat of Thackeray family-supported candidates in the union elections of the city's transport and electricity supply bodies. This meeting between Fadnavis and Raj Thackeray has become a major topic of political discussion.
Fadnavis' Statement
During this time, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that the public had rejected the 'Thackeray brand' amid voting allegations against a local politician associated with Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UBT). He described it as part of the election results and said that such events are common in politics.
Ajit Pawar's Comment
Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar called the meeting between Raj Thackeray and Devendra Fadnavis merely a courtesy visit. He said that meeting prominent leaders is common in Maharashtra's political tradition. Ajit Pawar said, "Now who meets whom, many people keep meeting. The head of state, Devendra ji, is there, so people will keep meeting. Whether in power or not, people keep meeting in political life."
Raj Thackeray's Perspective
Raj Thackeray cited town planning and Mumbai's increasing population and traffic as the reason for the meeting. He said that traffic is a major problem in Mumbai. People park vehicles anywhere, and there is a lack of etiquette. Raj Thackeray stated that he had a detailed discussion on this subject with the Chief Minister and the Mumbai Police and has also prepared a presentation.
