Mumbai: As the political crisis continues to unveil in Maharashtra, Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief

Uddhav Thackeray’s wife Rashmi Thackeray has been contacting the wives of other MLAs to convince them to speak to their husbands. According to sources, Uddhav Thackeray has also been texting some rebel MLAs who are currently camping in the Bhartiya Janata Party-ruled Assam.

On Saturday, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray held a national executive meeting with Sena leaders, passed resolutions, and moved the Election Commission (EC) to restrict any other political outfit or faction from using the name of “Shiv Sena” and its founder late “Balasaheb Thackeray.”This resolution coincidentally gets passed on the same day when there were reports of the Eknath Shinde lead rebel camp planning to name their party “Balasaheb Shiv Sena.”

The current political turmoil in the state was triggered by Eknath Shinde, who, along with several MLAs, went incommunicado after the MLC poll results. They are currently camping in a hotel in Guwahati. More MLAs, including independents, have joined the rebel camp since then.

287 is the total strength of the Maharashtra Assembly and the majority, in the event of a trust vote, is 144. The ruling coalition of Shiv Sena, NCP, and Congress has 169 seats. If the MLAs led by  Eknath Shinde do resign, then the Maharashtra  Vikas Aghadi’s (MVA) strength will fall below the majority mark, leading to the collapse of the Uddhav Thackeray-led government.

Meanwhile, Shiv Sena National Spokesperson Sanjay Raut on Sunday tweeted “How long will you hide in Guwahati? You will have to come back to Chowpatty, “along with an image of Maharashtra Assembly Deputy Speaker Narhari Zirwal, who has served notices to 16 rebel MLAs on the Sena disqualification plea.

“For God’s Sake, This Man Cannot Remain In Power”: Biden On Putin In Warsaw Speech

Tejas Joshi

In major speech at Polish capital Warsaw’s Royal Castle, US President Joe Biden on Saturday said his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power” and called the conflict in Ukraine a “strategic failure” for Moscow.

Comparing Ukraine’s resistance against a Russian invasion to the anti-Soviet “battle for freedom”, Biden said the world must prepare for a “long fight ahead”.”We stand with you,” he told Ukrainians.

The US President, addressing ordinary Russians, said they were “not our enemy” and urged them to blame Putin for the heavy economic sanctions imposed by the West.

Reiterating the “sacred obligation” of collective defence for NATO alliance members, Biden also warned Russia not to move on an “inch” of NATO territory. 

In his opening remarks, echoing the words of late pope John Paul, Biden told Ukrainians: “Be not afraid.”

Biden, concluding his sweeping address, said: “We will have a different future, a brighter future rooted in democracy and principle, hope and light.”

“For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” he said.
