No one wants to stay in Shiv Sena (UBT): BJP
Mumbai, Jun 22 (UNI) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Mumbai President and state Cultural Minister Ashish Shelar claimed here on Sunday that the condition of the Shiv Sena (UBT) party is dangerous and dilapidated. Shelar said that Shiv Sena (UBT) has become dangerous due its "anti Hindutva" policies and added that the group has given up Hindutva ideas which were espoused by the late Balasaheb Thackeray. "No one is ready to stay in this dilapidated party," said Shelar who is also State Cultural Affairs Minister. Former corporator Ishwar Tayde of Shiv Sena (UBT) group and former corporator Akanksha Shetty joined BJP along with their supporters today. Shelar said that Tayde and Shetty have joined the BJP because they have faith in the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who are committed to the welfare and development of the poor. He said under the leadership of Chief Minister and with the support of the Modi government at the center, development works worth about seven lakh crores are underway in Mumbai. UNI SP RKM

Patience key in politics, says Sanjay Raut after MNS leader suggests ‘minions should not talk' about Thackerays' possible alliance
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday advised Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leaders to be patient and optimistic amid speculations of a possible alliance between Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and MNS founder Raj Thackeray. 'In politics, one should always be patient and optimistic. Some people still need to be trained in this. Politics does not work by being superficial. When it is a question of Maharashtra's identity, when it is a question of the just rights of the Marathi people, one has to be patient. No one knows better than me what is going to happen and what is not going to happen. Whoever says anything is like a fool, it does not make sense,' the Rajya Sabha MP said. On Sunday morning, MNS leader Sandeep Deshpande had criticised Raut saying that he should not comment on the alliance. 'The leaders of both parties will take a decision on the alliance. The minions should not talk,' Deshpande said. Raut responded by saying that earlier people believed that the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) would not be formed. 'But still, a government of the Congress, NCP and Shiv Sena was formed in Maharashtra. Uddhav Thackeray became the chief minister,' he said, advising Deshpande that people coming into politics should study a little before speaking. After dropping hints that the party is preparing to join hands with Raj Thackeray's MNS, Sena (UBT) leaders have expressed optimism regarding the alliance. At a party function held last week, Uddhav said that things will work out as per the wishes of the people of Maharashtra, hinting that matters were moving forward in a positive manner. However, despite the workers of both parties coming together for various occasions, no official meetings have taken place between the two Thackerays yet.

"America voted for Trump but got Netanyahu as their boss": Priyanka Chaturvedi's jibe amid US-Israel strikes on Iran
New Delhi [India], June 22 (ANI): Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi on Sunday took a clever jibe at the growing coordination between the United States and Israel over the recent strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. 'America voted for President Trump but got Netanyahu as their boss,' the UBT leader said. The strikes in the early hours targeted Iran's nuclear sites in Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow. Fardow is Iran's main enrichment location for uranium enrichment to 60 per cent. Defence expert Sanjeev Srivastava told ANI that the strikes marked a 'major escalation' in the conflict and delivered a 'devastating blow' to Iran's nuclear infrastructure. 'The action taken by Israel and America is a major escalation. Iran had to face a devastating blow due to these actions, and the deep underground nuclear facilities of Iran were hard hit in this attack,' Srivastava said. He added, 'Be it the Trump administration or any other administrations, everyone has expressed their views that they won't let Iran acquire nuclear weapons.' According to a CNN report, the US likely used six B-2 bombers to drop a dozen GBU-57 A/B 'bunker buster' bombs, also known as Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOP), on the Fordow nuclear site, which is Iran's main location for uranium enrichment. A US official also told CNN that a full payload of bombs was dropped on Fordow. In his first public remarks following the strikes, President Trump warned that further action could be taken if Tehran fails to agree to a satisfactory peace settlement. 'There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we've witnessed over the last eight days,' Trump said in his address to the nation from the White House on Saturday (local time). In a Truth Social post, he added, 'This cannot continue. There will be either peace or there will be a tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight's was the most difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill.' Trump also praised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating: 'I want to thank Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel.' He also lauded the military minds behind the joint operation: 'I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done and most importantly I want to congratulate great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight, and all of the United States' military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades. Hopefully, we will no longer need their services in this capacity. I hope that so.' Trump was joined by key members of his administration, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth, as he delivered the remarks from the White House.
