Mumbai: A delegation of Shiv Sena (UBT) politicians, led by leader of opposition in the legislative council Ambadas Danve and MLC Anil Parab, met governor C P Radhakrishnan and submitted a letter demanding the immediate dismissal of tainted, corrupt and insensitive ministers and MLAs of the Mahayuti govt. "Information was given about the malpractices and cases of many ministers in the state cabinet. The factual situation of the serious cases of minister Sanjay Shirsat, agriculture minister Manikrao Kokate, minister of state Yogesh Kadam, and minister Nitesh Rane was presented before the governor. Information was given to the governor regarding many cases such as the honey trap case, the Thane-Borivli tunnel case, and irregularities in the land acquisition process of Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation," Danve said. "These incidents are not just a matter of law and order but are a clear insult to the democratic values and fundamental rights of the citizens of that state. The representatives of the ruling party and their supporters are giving an unspoken signal to the public that the law is supreme and there is a complete breakdown of law and order in the state. Due to this, an atmosphere of fear and insecurity was created among the common citizens. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like (1) Activate Antivirus License Now Click Here Undo Considering the seriousness of your position as the protector of the Constitution, we are requesting you to issue clear instructions to the CM to dismiss all these corrupt and tainted ministers and violent MLAs and take strict action," Danve said in his letter to the governor.

Don't sign Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill, send it back to state govt, Maha Vikas Aghadi urges governor
Mumbai: A delegation of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), led by Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Ambadas Danve, called on governor C P Radhakrishnan on Friday and urged him not to sign the Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill 2024. The delegation also demanded that the governor send the bill back to the state govt and ask for it to be reconsidered by the legislature. Congress MLA Vijay Wadettiwar said the Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill 2024 was passed without taking the opposition into confidence or allowing them to speak. "We had some objections to the bill, but we were not taken into confidence or asked about our suggestions. This bill will be used to hide failures of the state govt and suppress those who speak against it," he said. "There are many laws, so what was the need for this bill? This is not a public security bill, but a govt security bill. If this bill is for leftist ideology then tomorrow, those who commit extremist acts, any anti-national acts in this state, will action be taken based on ideology? Because an extremist is an extremist. Whether he is leftist or right wing, we have presented a clear position to the governor in this regard. We have told the governor that this bill is an attack on the rights of the common man and the Indian Constitution. Therefore, we have demanded that he send the bill back to the state govt for reconsideration," Wadettiwar added.

"This incident has tarnished Maharashtra's image not only in the country, but also around the world. Legal action should be taken against the goons who carry out such attacks," he said. "We did not make a demand for President's rule, but we discussed improving the law and order situation in the state. Nowadays, accused are seen roaming with ministers and ruling party MLAs. Recently, a goon in Pune raised a ruckus in the police station."

Join us after 2029 if you want: Devendra Fadnavis' offer to Uddhav Thackeray
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis lit up the Legislative Council on Wednesday with a cheeky offer to his predecessor, Uddhav Thackeray, inviting him to join the ruling side - a suggestion that was met with laughter in the House but stony silence from the Shiv Sena (UBT) remark came during the farewell ceremony of Ambadas Danve, the Leader of Opposition and a member of Thackeray's faction of the Shiv was present in the House when Fadnavis turned toward him and said: "Look Uddhav-ji, there is no scope of (our) going there (in the opposition) till 2029 But if you want to come over here, then consider it it depends on you it can be considered." "Let it go. Some things should be taken on lighter note," said Uddhav when asked to comment on Fadnavis's offer by to the buzz, a video surfaced showing Fadnavis and Thackeray greeting each other cordially ahead of the session, with both leaders briefly shaking hands and exchanging smiles - a rare public moment between two former allies now on opposite sides of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) - comprising the BJP, the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, and the Ajit Pawar faction of the NCP - secured a decisive victory in the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections, effectively ruling out the possibility of Fadnavis finding himself in the opposition any time NDA members burst into laughter at the remark, Fadnavis, adding to the moment, said, "Ambadas Danve may be anywhere (party or opposition) but his real thoughts are right wing."- EndsTune InMust Watch

In legislative council, You have the scope to come here, Fadnavis tells Uddhav
A rare bonhomie between the ruling party and the Opposition was on display in the state legislative council on Wednesday during the farewell of Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC and Leader of Opposition, Ambadas Danve, whose term ends in August, with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis making an open offer to former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray to join the Mahayuti. 'Uddhavji, now we don't have to do anything till 2029. We have no scope left to come there (to opposition benches). But you have the scope to come here (to treasury benches). We can think about it differently. We will talk differently,' said Fadnavis. However, Thackeray did not respond directly to Fadnavis' offer while joining others to take it in a lighter vein. CM Fadnavis and Thackeray had earlier met on the premises of Vidhan Bhavan greeted each other before meeting in the state council. In his speech, the CM said, 'Shiv Sena is still our friend (referring to BJP's alliance with Eknath Shinde led Shiv Sena) but some changes have taken place (referring to split in Shiv Sena).' Showering praise on Danve, Fadnavis said, 'Ambadas Danve is retiring on August 29. His term ends before the next session. Even though he is now in Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena, he is originally from our BJP. Ambadas Danve's life started in the BJP. He was working as an effective leader. There were some disputes and then he left the party. He joined Shiv Sena (led by Uddhav Thackeray) but he started his political journey in BJP… One can see perseverance and studious attitude in him as he was moulded during his stint in the BJP.' In his speech, Thackeray praised Danve for his work in the party even after the Shiv Sena split in June 2022. 'My colleague Ambadas Danve is completing first term and not retiring. He will come back again.I thank the Chief Minister because he gave us his workers like Ambadas, and we took him in the party fold.' Taking a dig at CM Fadnavis, Thackeray said, 'But will the chief minister thank us? Will he talk about what he has taken from us (referring to Eknath Shinde deserting Shiv Sena to join the BJP-led Mahayuti)?… Positions come and go, but what is important is the image we have in the minds of the people.' Praising Danve, Thackeray said, 'It has been mentioned by speakers that you (Danve) were not born with a golden spoon… but you did not take away the food from someone's plate.' This was an apprent reference to Eknath Shinde's repeated swipe at Thackeray that he born with a golden spoon and hence he (Shinde) climbed up the political ladder. (Alok Deshpande)
