Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann on Friday night met Shiv Sena (UBT) head Uddhav Thackeray at his Mumbai residence ‘Matoshree’. Rajya Sabha MPs Sanjay Singh and Raghav Chadha have been additionally current. The assembly got here days after the Election Commission of India (ECI) allotted the ‘Shiv Sena’ identify and ‘bow and arrow’ image to the faction headed by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
After the assembly, Kejriwal addressed the media and stated, “Everything was stolen from Uddhav ji. His get together and image. Entire Maharashtra is with him and I hope he’ll get justice from the Supreme Court.”
Shinde’s rebellion in June last year split the Sena and brought down the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government of Thackeray. Shinde became CM with the support of the BJP.
Notably, the AAP has stated it could contest the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections, that are due since early final 12 months.
The undivided Sena had led the country’s richest civic body for several years now, while the AAP wrested the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) from the BJP recently.
Both Thackeray and Kejriwal are bitter critics of the BJP.
When asked about the Ajnala incident, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who was also present in the media interaction, said, “You have the wrong information. Law and order in Punjab under control. Punjab Police is capable. Bullets were fired at social bonding in Punjab for 10 years. But people want to live together. Ours is a peaceful state…”
