The Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader is today going to New Delhi for a three-day political tour. Thackeray will engage in a string of Leadership interactions during his Delhi visit, which is his first visit after the recently held Lok Sabha elections and before the upcoming assembly polls in Maharashtra.
Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Raut said that Thackeray will accompany his sons Aaditya Thackeray and Rashmi Thackeray on this important visit.
Media reports suggest that Thackeray will hold a meeting with Congress Party’s parliamentary party chairman, Sonia Gandhi, Working President Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra would be held. He will also talk with leaders of the newly formed Aam Aadmi Party and Trinamool Congress.
Also, the meeting will be held with the former Maharashtra C. M, who will discuss the circumstances with Sharad Pawar and Ramesh Chennithala, the in-charge of Maharashtra Congress. During his stay in the capital, Thackeray is also likely to meet the Members of Parliament from Maharashtra.
Chatting with media persons, Chennithala said that the discussions regarding seat sharing in Maha Vikas Aghadi, the alliance of Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray), Congress, and NCP, will be held on August 20, Rajiv Gandhi’s birth anniversary, when both Kharge and Rahul Gandhi are supposed to be in Mumbai.
In response to the latest top-level meeting between Sharad Pawar and Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Sanjay Raut was taut and could not say anything about the meeting.
The upcoming assembly elections in Maharashtra, scheduled to be held in the latter half of the current year, would be the first of their kind in which Shiv Sena and NCP had recently had a vertical split.
The political system of the state has transformed drastically; where Eknath Shinde, who was part of the Shiv Sena faction, has joined and become the Chief Minister of the state, while Ajit Pawar, who was the former NCP leader, has joined the ruling side as the Deputy Chief Minister.
