AAP Legislator From Burari Gets SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Death Threats “From Gangster”; PoShiv Sena Crisis Shows The Faultlines lice Probe Underway Editorial

In Uddhav’s Pursuit Of Secular MVA

Uddhav Thackeray undid Bal Thackeray’s Hindutva legacy by linking up with the secular Congress and the NCP. And Aaditya Thackeray is being blamed for alienating Eknath Shinde. ‘UT’ was blind to ‘AT’ meddling in affairs out of his depth. But that would be diminishing Sanjay Raut’s role, hovering overhead! ‘UT’ should have understood that Raut was an overhead that would cost him dearly. Uddhav Thackeray vacating ‘Varsha’, the Maharashtra CM’s official residence, was symbolic of the slide. So, why’s Uddhav Thackeray clinging to the chair? Raut had told the world that party mattered, not the government. Frankly, to everybody listening, Raut’s days of “Ukhaad Diya”were up.Sanjay Raut’s proximity to NCP supremo Sharad Pawar is thick. Like Eknath Shinde’s toDevendra Fadnavis. Aaditya Thackeray was collateral. Both UT and AT were in thecavalcade that left ‘Varsha’ for ‘Matoshree’, the Thackeray family residence. Things hadgone from bad to worse in less than 48 hours.The time to circle the wagons was long overdue, the Thackeray family could even have tolose the Shiv Sena. Eknath Shinde’s project “end unnatural alliance” with a takeover bid wasideated and incubated in a BJP laboratory. And right under the nose of Sharad GovindraoPawar, the man who knows rebellions best, having engineered and led some of themhimself!For Uddhav Thackeray, the Shiv Sena is at stake, the party Balasaheb Thackeray foundedand nurtured. Why ‘UT’ broke from legacy and shucked Hindutva, the Shiv Sena’s staple, isa mystery. Realization came too late. Uddhav Thackeray in his ‘Facebook Live’ said that hedidn’t covet the CM’s post, but was coaxed by Sharad Pawar for the greater good. “Come,and I’ll make you Chief Minister,” he told ShindeIs ‘UT’ naïve? Didn’t he know that the “remote” of the state was with the NCP? He shouldhave known when NCP’s Nawab Malik ran riot with ultimatums to everybody who spoke outof turn. He should have known when ‘Vasooligate’ broke; when Sachin Vaze was corneredand caged; when Mumbai Police commissioner Parambir Singh broke cover; and when thenHome Minister Anil Deshmukh landed behind bars.In hindsight, three amateurs — UT, Raut and Thackeray Jr. — were led up the garden pathby seasoned politicians! The NCP was playing a deep game none of the Sena trio figuredout. A chance at power, leading the state, had boomeranged. And the dominance of theNCP continued. The Congress kept to the contours of the common minimum programme. But it wasimpossible for the NCP, with Sharad Pawar at its head, to play second fiddle, least of all to greenhorns, rank amateurs — an inexperienced father, his presumptuous son, and aninflatable showboat, self-styled advisor.Of the MVA trio, Sonia Gandhi kept the Congress as independent as possible, UddhavThackeray thought he was in control, and Sharad Pawar ensured the NCP had the controls!The impression created was that Uddhav Thackeray had Pawar’s back.Uddhav Thackeray mingled with K. Chandrashekhar Rao, and Trinamool chief MamataBanerjee, both self-made, tough as nails, politicians. Uddhav Thackeray was feted by MKStalin, and Pinarayi Vijayan. Arvind Kejriwal was not lavish with praise, but not miserlyeither.The feeling one got was that Uddhav Thackeray was an important cog—admired for thecourage to break away from the ‘communal’­—in the Opposition. ‘UT’ had created his ownniche Hindutva. And Bal Thackeray’s Hindutva was dead and buried.So, it is baffling why Sharad Pawar left Uddhav Thackeray to fend for himself. Pawar leftDelhi saying it was an “internal problem of the Shiv Sena”. Then, after ‘UT’ delivered his‘Facebook Live’, Pawar met ‘UT’. Did Pawar advise Uddhav to give government to Shindeand keep the party to himself?Uddhav appears to have agreed. But Eknath Shinde is not Uddhav, and neither is heChhagan Bhujbal who defected from the Sena to the Congress in 1991 when Pawar was stillwith the Congress. Auto-driver-turned-politician Eknath Shinde wants both party andgovernment, - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara also Balasaheb’s Hindutva.
