Elections in Maharashtra: A Battle of Guarantees

Uddhav Thackeray accuses PM Modi and Amit Shah of creating religious rifts during Maharashtra's assembly election campaign. The Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance is in a fierce contest with the Mahayuti alliance. Thackeray criticized Modi's silence on Manipur violence and questioned the focus on Article 370's abrogation in election rallies.

Amidst the fervor of the Maharashtra assembly elections, Uddhav Thackeray, leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT), has leveled serious accusations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Thackeray claims the duo is inciting communal division between Hindus and Muslims as part of their election strategy.

At a rally in Yavatmal district, Thackeray challenged the 'Modi guarantee,' asserting that it holds no sway in Maharashtra compared to the enduring influence of Balasaheb Thackeray. He emphasized the close contest between the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance and the Mahayuti alliance in the upcoming elections.

Furthermore, Thackeray expressed discontent over Modi's lack of response to violence in Manipur and criticized Amit Shah's focus on the abrogation of Article 370, which he argued has no relevance to Maharashtra's pressing issues, such as agricultural prices and industry employment.
