during the NCB raid & arrest. Gosavi is private detective per per his profile. The fraudulent case has been registered against him duping the person for Rs 3 lakh in promise of job. NCP asks how private person can be involved in NCB raid?
Rebelled Shiv Sena MLAs Suratโs hotel bill is pending. Rooms were booked by govt officer on name of A, B, AB etc. The reports in pending bill, liquor bill has major share. In liquor free Gujarat, these rebelled MLAs faced shortage of booze therefore they were shifted to Guwahati.
The way CM Uddhav Thackeray received affections from common people & Shiv Sainik while coming from Varsha to Matoshree that hardly anyone will get in Mumbai. Huge crowd, mostly emotionally charged women Sainik. Thackeray also stopped his convoy at many places to meet people.
Reports: In Guwahati, 25 rebelled Sena MLAs are formed their seperate group within Rebelled camp & want to keep their identify as Shiv Sena MLA's only. They do not want to merge with BJP. These group witinin group saying let's go & meet CM Uddhav Thackeray & find out the ways.
Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray said that in part of the country witnessed violence and riots, but not in Maharashtra, it is because of my culture. Muslim also supported us.
@NewIndianXpress
Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray gracefully left Varsha bungalow. He did not cling to the power place. Rare to see such kind of humble gesture by politician. Otherwise, despite several notices to politicians they refuse to vacate govt bungalows & treat as their private property.
Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray said during formation of MVA, we were told, not to trust Sharad Pawar & Congress, but in reality, they solidly remained with us in crisis & whom we trusted (Ekanth Shinde) treating as our own people, but they (Rebel Sena MLA's) betrayed us.
Around 1.50 lakh people attended Rahul Gandhi's mega rally this evening at Shegav in Maharashtra. As per police, inside the ground, over 1.25 lakh while over 25000 outside the ground was present. It turned out of one of the mega rally of Congress in Maharashtra.

1. Aryan gets bail
2. KP Gosavi gets jail
3. Sameer Wankhede run pillars to post to protect himself from arrest.
4. Sameer Wankhede spouse plays Marathi card.
5. Wankhede's first father in law says Wankhede family is Muslim

Pooja Khedkar (2023/IAS) officer landed into big trouble. She 1st sought VIP number plate & put red beacon on private Audi given by contractor, snatched Pune collector private chamber & now new shocking info emerged, she allegedly faked her disability certificate to get into IAS.
Journalist Sandeep Mahajan was badly assaulted by Shinde factions Shiv Sena MLA Kishor Patilโs workers cum goons cos Mahajan raised 8 yrs old girl rape & murder case & asked questions to MLA Patil & CM Eknath Shinde & demanded justice. Earlier same MLA abused him over the phone.
Maharashtra police arrested
@abpmajhatv
reporter Rahul Kulkarni from his home town Osmanabad for allegedly spreading fake news that trains will start on April 14, 2020. Such circular was issued by Railway ministry, the details inquiry should happen & culprit should be punished
The real strength of Shiv Sena is Shakhas (local party office), not MLAs. Despite major exodus of Sena MLAs,majority of Sena Shakha president-local cadre seems to be intact & with Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray in this political turmoil. After initial shock, it's recovering now.
Big breaking: IPS officer Rashmi Shukla illegally tapping 30 politicians phones when Maha Vikas Aghadi govt formation was taking place. She was habitually doing phone tapping even after formation of govt & working as BJP agent so shifted from intelligence dept

The ground reality. The massive crowd at Shiv Sena youth leader
@AUThackeray
rally at Pachora, Jalgaon. The strong alternative leadership has been emerging in every constituency of Shiv Sena MLA's who left

& joined Maharashtra CM
@mieknathshinde
.
@NewIndianXpress
Major & foremost reason behind Eknath Shinde's rebellion & forming new govt with big party is to get rid of from central agencies. Six month back, Ekanth Shinde close aid who handle his business was raided by IT that put heavy pressure over him to get holy bath in national party.
Breaking: NCP chief Sharad Pawar he received income tax notice for his 2004, 2009, 2014 and 2020 General elections affidavits. Income tax seems to be super active now days.
Shiv Sena MLA Kailash Patil & Nitin Deshmukh returned from Eknath Shinde camp and expressed their support to Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray. Deshmukh said that there was conspiracy by Gujarat police to kill him by giving poisonous injection in hospital.
@NewIndianXpress
Very shocking. Maharashtra is in financial crisis but union minister's of BJP are calling & pressuring the industrialists & businessmen to contribute in PM Care, but not in Chief Minister Relief Fund. Centre yet to pay Rs 16,000 crore as GST compensation to Maharashtra.

Rebelled Sena MLA Sanjay Gaikwad said BJP should restraint BJP leader Kirit Somaiya from making nonsense statements against Sena president Uddhav Thackeray. He said, if BJP continue to attack Uddhav Thackeray, then they will break away from BJP, power is not important for them.
After arrest of Aryan Khan in allegedly drug case, NCB Director Sameer Wankhede team demanded Rs 25 cr to release Aryan. However,
@iamsrk
as father was sure that his son had no possession, no recovery & consumption of drugs so refused to budge but fought composed legal battle.
After disqualification of 12 rebel Shiv Sena MLAs, Eknath Shinde will have to knock the court door to reverse the order & its not easy. It's long legal battle that will result in increasing restlessness among other Sena MLA's who camped far away in Guwahati in luxury hotel.

#PoojaKhedkar
seen in this video flashing gun &threatening farmer. She with bouncer tried to grab local farmer land in Pune. Her husband also involved in rampant land grabbing activities. They grabbed 110 acres land.
NCB suspected something in Aryan Khan's mobile chat. Did NCB check Pratik Gaba, Rishab Sachdeva & Amir Furnitureala detained peoples mobile chats b4 releasing them like Aryan Khan mobile chats were checked. Why two laws are applicable here ? One for Aryan while other for invite.
Twist in

case story. Sandeep Singh who allegedly supplied drugs to Sushant Singh has BJP link. Singh had produced PM Narendra Modi biopic. Poster of this film was also launched by erstwhile CM Devendra Fadnavis.

GVK who manages Mumbai International airport refused to sale it's hard earned stake to Adani. CBI inter the scene, filed FIR against promoters of GVK. GVK issued statement saying they are ready to cooperate with Adani. Finally, Adani buys 74 % stake in GVK. Long live democracy!!!
Shiv Sena leaders said

@adarpoonawalla

SK Gosavi as per Pune police record, he is absconding. Despite repeated summons, Gosavi failed to appear before police. But he helped
@narcoticsbureau
to conduct raid at Cruise ship party, work as witnesses & take the accused to NCB office as well.
Tata Airbus manufacturing project was planned in Maharashtra, but now it has shifted to Gujarat. Maharashtra Industrial minister was given promise of setting up this Airbus project in Maharashtra in loss of Vedanta Foxconn semiconductor projects, but this is also gone to Gujarat.
Eknath Shinde made major blunder by sending 34 Sena MLA's including indept MLAs support letter to speaker. Allegations: letter has forged signs of Sena MLA's. It will be under scrutiny. Meanwhile, Sena disqualified it's 12 MLAs, so big challenge & legal battle before Shinde now.
Uddhav Thackeray once again established that he is not greedy & cling to power. After his Shiv Sena MLAs revolt against him,Thackeray left the power house Varsha bungalow & shifted to his private residence Matoshree. Now, after Surpeme Court order, he resigned as CM & MLC as well
NCP chief Jayant Patil said after Nana Patole stepping down as speaker,they several time asked Governor to call speaker elections,but he turned down our request citing matter subjudiced, but with new CM, he called speaker elections. It shows biasness in Governor office functions.
I came at Shivaji park at 4.30 pm since then there is no gap in flow of people at Shivaji park. Massive crowd flocking towards Shivaji park. People are coming in group with their own musical instruments etc, hurling slogans. Crowd seems to be emotionally attached to Thackeray.
NCP minister
@nawabmalikncp
questions if Sameer Wankhede calls himself honest, then how he can afford such super luxurious life style like Rs 80,000 shirt, Rs 1 crore watch, Rs 6 lakh belt, Rs 5 lakh shoe etc. No item is repeated by him. It shows extortion is in big way in NCB.
Maharashtra Governor writes CM Uddhav Thackeray to call two days assembly session in view of Sakinaka rape case &women safety while CM Thackeray writes back Governor asking to write centre to call four days parliament session to discuss women safety issue cos it's all India issue
Union minister Amit Shah raised issue of Kalawati whom Rahul Gandhi met but did not offer any help but BJP gave her electricity, ration, house etc however Kalawati says she received everything house & electricity connection due to Rahul Gandhi only, BJP has not given anything.
Most of the Shiv Sena MLAs who are with Eknath Shinde were initially told them the dinner has arranged by Eknath Shinde in Thane and requested MLAs to attend. Later, these all these MLAs were taken to Surat by Bus and now these MLAs are in Guwahati.
After BJP leader Amit Shah challenge for Maha Vikas Aghadi to dissolve the govt & have fresh state polls once again, Sena leader Sanjay Raut in reply challenges Amit Shah that he should asks it's all 105 MLAs resign first, then get elected 105 MLAs again without support of Sena.
Mid term polls in Maharashtra? NCP chief Sharad Pawar in his party MLA's meeting said, Ekath Shinde govt will not last long, it will collapse within six months. He asked his MLA's start preparing for mid term polls & reach out people in their constituencies.
@NewIndianXpress

#PoojaKhedkar
case, verification of her disability certificate, AIIMS, Delhi called her 6 time, but she declined. UPSC declined her recruitment, then, she went to CAT, it also asked same, but DoPT of centre govt mysteriously appointed her & gave Maharashtra cadre.
Big breaking: Maharashtra Congress president
@NANA_PATOLE
alleged that bomb scare at Mukesh Ambani's Antillia residence is game plan of the BJP only, so that Mukesh Ambani can get permission for private helipad at his Antillia building & sympathy that he lost in farmer agitations
The local Marathi newspaper reporter who broke this Badarpur sexual abuse story & brought all facts in public domain. This reporter was threatened by CM Eknath Shinde led Shiv Senaโs local leader Waman Mhatre. He abused her saying she is doing reporting as she herself was raped.
Today, I met senior bureaucrat in Maharashtra Home department, he confirmed that there are discrepancies in judge
#loya
case probe. If the case is re-opened & properly probed, then big fishes can come under scanner. They mishandled the case & their role is also suspicious.

@narcoticsbureau
Zonal Director
#SameerWakhende
quit the what's app group of selective journalists. He seems to be rattled with allegations charged against him.
NCP chief Sharad Pawar said since 1967, he has seen oath of chief ministers, he has also taken oath as CM b/w 1972 to 1990 but no governor offered him ladoos. But present Maharashtra Governor not only offers ladoos but even give bouquet after oath. Qualitative change in conduct
So Sameer conveniently changes his father name from Dawood to Dhandev & Dhandev to Dawood, he even changes religion from Muslim to Hindu SC & vice versa as situation demands. To get Nikaha Sameer became Muslim while to get govt job he became Hindu SC. So he hold two identities.
Photograph of the day. This picture shows Rahul Gandhi is very different politician who genuinely wants to connect d people by showing empathy & understanding their issues. Rare quality in age of hypocrisy. Earlier video of Ramshwar ji brought the tears, now this pic is abt hope.
Projects & offices taken away from Maharashtra & shifted either in Gujarat or Delhi
1. IFSC centre planned at BKC, but relocated in Gujarat
2. Centre Board for Workers Education, was in Nagpur but shifted in Delhi
3. MIAL office shifted from Mumbai to Gujarat. (1)
Aryan Khan case is preplanned. Bollywood star
@iamsrk
son Aryan Khan is deliberately framed in cruise drug case by NCB & some private people says Vijay Pagare who is one of d witness in Aryan Khan case. He also revealed the big deal was also struck, some amount was given to NCB.
The huge emotionally charged crowd to meet & get glimpse of Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray tells, legacy is legacy. Eknath Shinde may have numbers at his side today but he will never able to take the place of Thackeray. Long way to go to Thackeray & Shinde as well.
Is BJP losing public support in Maharashtra ? After splitting NCP & dividing Pawar family, In Sakalโs todayโs survey, BJPโs vote share has gone down dramatically from 33.8% to 26.8% in state while Congress & Uddhav Thackerayโs Sena retained their 19% & 12.7% respectively. (1)
Big revelation: Prabhakar Sali, personal body guard of missing KP Gosavi, who is witness in Aryan Khan drug case in his affidavit revealed, NCB, KP Gosavi & Sam Desouza had demanded Rs 25 cr from Shahrukh Khan to release his son Aryan Khan from the drug case. 1.
@NewIndianXpress
Another big revelation: Shekhar Kamble alleged NCB Director Sameer Wankhede had taken his signature on ten blank pages as witness during NCB raid in old case. He said after Prabhakar Sail revelations, he is afraid Sameer Wankhede may frame him in false case.
@NewIndianXpress
Uddhav Thackeray said that I feel lucky that many people cried for him when he left chief minister post. I earned people affections and love and that is real earning for him.

injections at inflated prices. They were also hoarding Remdesivirs large stock.
@NewIndianXpress
Journalist Association in Maharashtra refused to condemn the arrest of
#ArnabGoswami
saying it is an individual issue. He has been arrested not for his journalism so freedom of speech has nothing to do with this case. Goswami arrested for abatement for suicide
@NewIndianXpress
Big loss. In the last three months, Maharashtra lost over Rs 2.25 lakh crore worth investment through three mega projects. These projects would have generated more than two lakh jobs in state. Politics is endless, it can go on, but the harsh reality is its BIG loss to state.
NCP minister Nawab Malik said it is true, he was in scrap business but left since he bcame MLA however "I want to tell BJP, I will collect all scrap pieces & show them the capability of Bhangarwala. I will expose one after another BJP leader (scrap) & their nexus & will melt them
Uddhav Thackeray candidate Rutuja Latke with new party name and symbol won the Andheri East by-election by 53,471 votes. It shows Thackeray's cadre in Mumbai is intact despite big revolt by Shinde group. This bypoll victory will surely boost the moral of Uddhav Thackeray's Sena.
1.Rebelled Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde is in touch with top BJP leader of Maharashtra to form the govt wid Sena rebels & BJP.
2. NCP prominent leader is in touch with top central leadership of BJP to form the NCP & BJP govt in Maharashtra.
#CHECKMATE
It is clear that Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray is not going to resign soon, he is ready to face the trouble and will try his best till last moment to save his govt.
Brace up yourself for another big political earthquake in Maharashtra. The heart patients should take care.. not to read more political news. The BIG political development can happen anytime soon in Maharashtra.
1.Raj Thackeray left Shiv Sena but never made personal attack on his uncle Balasaheb Thackeray.
2.Dhananjay Munde left his uncle Gopinath Munde, &maintained dignity.
3.Ajit Pawar left his uncle Sr Pawar but failed 2maintain dignity &indulged in personalised attacks on his uncle.
It is too early to write on Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde's administration handling skill, but it is fact, administration & leadership are missing in present flood situation that has killed 89 people so far & many got displaced. Political crisis leading to administrative crisis.
Anyone who covers political beat in Maharashtra can understand, Eknath Shinde having support of three to five MLAs in Sena is fine but Shinde having support of 30 Shiv Sena MLAs including ministers ? & they are rebelling against Uddhav Thackeray ? Tough to digest....
Major development: In school leaving certificate of NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede had written name as "Sameer Dawood Wankhede" while religion as "Muslim". Documents submitted in the Bombay High court by NCP minister
@nawabmalikncp
lawyer to substantiate his earlier claim.
Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik writes Maharashtra home minister to reopen file of architect Anvay Naik suicide case where Republic TV owner & Editor Arnab Goswami is first accused in his suicide note. Naik & his mother committed suicides blaming Arnab & other two accused in note
Prabhakar Sali, one of witness in Aryan Khan case has given all minute murky details of shocking Rs 25 Cr ransom demand from
@iamsrk
saga with time & locations. It is quite easy for independent probe agency to track all these area CCTV footage to take the case at logical end.
The 22 MLAs of Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde group (BSS) are likely to join BJP soon. Shiv Sena mouth piece Saamana claims 22 MLAs of Shinde group are unhappy with Shinde & uncertain about their political prospect therefore they will merge their group in BJP.
@NewIndianXpress
NCP minister
@nawabmalikncp
claims
@iamsrk
& his manager Pooja Dadlani threatened if they come out against Sameer Wankhede & his team in connection with Rs 25 cr ransom, then they will face adverse consequences. Malik urges no one should get afraid, come forward & speak out.
In Dhule Lok sabha constituency, no big leader from Congress was ready to contest election against sitting BJP LS MP Subhash Bhamre in fear of loss. Congress announced Shobha Bachhav candidature few days b4 nominations &she in last round of counting won against BJP by 3831 votes.
Devendra Fadnavis is in trouble. Maharashtra HM Dilip Walse Patil said, LoP Devendra Fadnavis pressurised & interfered in the probe of police when Bruck Pharma owner was questioned at police station therefore actions against Fadnavis is likely to be taken.
@NewIndianXpress
Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray in his party national office bearer meeting at Sena Bhavan said that why they want to use Balasaheb Thackeray name, if they have guts then ask the votes on their father name, then see how many votes they get.
@NewIndianXpress
@TheMornStandard
Former Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said he will meet NCP chief Sharad Pawar & hand over the evidence of NCP minister Nawab Malik's connection with underworld & Dawood Ibrahim. In reply, Nawab Malik said he is ready to expose Fadnavis further.
@NewIndianXpress
NCP chief Sharad Pawar said Maharashtra CM Ekanth Shinde & BJP will not fulfill all demands of all Rebelled Sena MLA's. Everyone is expecting ministry or something big in this govt. So many rebels MLA's will return back to Sena fold again.
@NewIndianXpress
After Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray meeting with districts party presidents, Shiv Sena cadre gets agressive and ransackd rebelled Shiv Sena MLA's offices. Removes posters & banners of these Rebelled Sena MLA & protest against them.
@NewIndianXpress
Eknath Shinde has support of 2/3 rebelled Sena MLAs in Guwahati, but he is not sure whether this numbers will remain intact when he arrives in MUmbai. In past, when Mr Bhujbal left Sena, initially 18 MLAs were with him, but later only 11 joined & Rane episode was also same.
BJP leader
@KiritSomaiya
left the press conference midway when persistently asked about Rs 58 crore that was crowd funded to save the INS Vikrant by him. Somaiya refused to reply on siphoning off the Rs 58 cr allegations levelled by Shiv Sena
@rautsanjay61
.
@NewIndianXpress
Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray said that Eknath Shinde was given urban development like cream portfolio that was always used to be with chief minister. His son is also member of parliament. We have given everything to him still he cheated us.
@NewIndianXpress
Sameer Wankhede's Birth certificate with name - Sameer Dawood Wankhede, religion - Muslim is authentic & verified. In an additional affidavit in Bombay High Court, NCP minister Nawab Malik claimed this said Birth certificate issued by local civic body - BMC.
@NewIndianXpress
If BJP cannot win in its hard core RSS BJP dominated Kasabha Peth like bastion, then what about 40 MLAs of Eknath Shinde led Shiv Sena? Whose ownership BJP has taken to elect them in state assembly elections. They must more concerned & worried now.
Big set back to Sameer Wankhede. The Bombay High court says NCP minister
@nawabmalikncp
allegations against Sameer Wankhede are not totally false at prima facie. Court refused to pass injunction.
@NewIndianXpress
@TheMornStandard
One selfie of KP Gosavi With Aryan Khan cost them Rs 18. Vijay Pagare , one of the eye witness in this entire episode says this selfie not only botched entire Rs 18 cr deal but it will have many ramifications if Aryan Khan case is probed properly by two SITs.
Uddhav Thackeray in his state address said BJP is trying to finish Shiv Sena. He recalled that former PM Indira Gandhi during emergency was asked to ban Shiv Sena, but she did not take any such drastic decision but today BJP did it by freezing Shiv Sena as party & it's symbol.
