Some people's life lies in BMC, Shiv Sena should focus to wrest it, Shinde's dig at Uddhav

Mumbai: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Tuesday attacked the opposition Shiv Sena (UBT) and said some people's life is rooted in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and asserted the focus of his party should be to win Mumbai's civic body.

. He took a dig at his arch rival and former CM Uddhav Thackeray, saying "The way a demon's life lies in a parrot, some people's life is in the BMC. We have to make those sit at home who consider Mumbai a goose that lays golden eggs. We made them sit at home after Vidhan Sabha polls. We have to give them one more jolt." Addressing a 'thanksgiving rally' here, Shinde hit out at the Shiv Sena (UBT) led by Thackeray for making personal attacks at Maharashtra Legislative Council Deputy Chairperson Neelam Gorhe and said she exposed their "dirty business and they could not handle it".

.Raj Thackeray, Uddhav meet at wedding; spark speculation of rapprochement. Gorhe, who crossed over to the Shiv Sena led by Shinde following a split in 2022, claimed on Saturday that posts in the undivided regional partywere obtained through corrupt means, including gifting of Mercedes cars.

. "Mahayuti should be strengthened and this is our agenda. Our focus should be that of Arjun Mission Mumbai (single minded focus)," Shinde noted.

. The undivided Shiv Sena controlled the cash-rich BMC for 25 consecutive years, from 1997-2022.

. The deputy CM insisted that the Mukhyamantri Ladki Bahin Yojana, launched last year ahead of the assembly polls, will not be stopped and all "eligible" beneficiaries will continue to get the monthly allowance of Rs 1,500.
