Mumbai: Announcing the neglect of full property tax for homes measuring less than 500 square feet in Mumbai, Chairman of the Minister of Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday sounded the Shiv poll Sena’s Bugle for BMC selection.
In addition to making the main announcement which is expected to resonate with the middle and medium-sized family family lakh, which has long been the core selector base of Sena, Thackeray also made encouragement to party ahead of the BMC poll, asking people to continue to bless him with their support.
Thackeray dug veiled at BJP and the opposition leader Devendra Fadnivis, said they made an appointment before the election but returned later.
“Many leaders promise stars and months during elections and then forget it and retreat.
When people ask that you have promised stars and months, they say that things like that are talked about during the election,” Thackeray said.
CM also made a tone for his son, Minister of Environment Aaditya Thackeray, ahead of the election.
“This is the fourth generation of Thackeray’s family in public service …
in Mumbai …
it starts with my grandfather Prabodhankar Thackeray, then my father Balasaheb who founded Shiv Sena and now Aaditya did it.
At night he made a visit to check the progress of road work and Nullah cleaning.
He almost facilitates my burden as far as working in Mumbai, “Thackeray said.
Political analyst said Aaditya could be Sena’s main face for BMC polls.
With the state government in increasing seats in BMC from 227 to 236, and the lack of clarity over the OBC reservation and the third Covid-19 wave, the BMC selection can be postponed, officials said.
Interestingly, the Minister of Congress Aslam Shaikh, who is the Minister of Guardian for Mumbai City, is also part of a meeting where tax neglect is announced, indicating that the understanding between Sena and Congress can be on the card.
With the City Congress President Bhai Jagtap said the party would go alone in the BMC poll, Sena strategist said instead of the formal alliance, the party may have “understanding” with Congress in the main fields to defeat BJP.
