Shiv Sena

The Indian Express report claimed that 23 opposition politicians who switched to the BJP since 2014 have faced reduced scrutiny from federal investigative agencies regarding corruption cases. Among them were leaders from various parties, including Congress, NCP, Shiv Sena, TMC, TDP, SP, and YSRCP.

In 2004, Govinda made a foray into politics by contesting from Mumbai North Lok Sabha constituency on a Congress ticket, where he earned the title of a "giant-slayer" by defeating BJP's Ram Naik. However, he later withdrew from the party and took a hiatus from political engagements.

The Shiv Sena (UBT) announced its first list of candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2024 on Wednesday morning. Beginning on April 19, voting in Maharashtra, which has 48 Lok Sabha seats, the second-highest number after Uttar Pradesh (80), will take place in five stages. 

“Sonia Gandhi's launch of the 'Rahul Yaan' has failed miserably 19 times. Efforts are on for the 20th attempt,” Amit Shah said, addressing a youth rally in north Maharashtra’s Jalgaon district.

Report suggests that the Shiv Sena faction led by ex-Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray will contest 20 of the state's 48 Lok Sabha seats. The Congress will contest 18 and the Nationalist Congress Party unit led by Sharad Pawar will field candidates for the other 10.

Former Maharashtra chief minister Manohar Joshi passed away on Friday (Feb 23) at around 3 am due to age-related health complications. Joshi served as Maharashtra chief minister from 1995 to 1999.

Mauris Noronha, who allegedly shot dead Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Abhishek Ghosalkar during a Facebook Live, got tips about the use of a pistol from YouTube and his bodyguard, a Crime Branch official said.

On Monday, Ashok Chavan, a five-term MLA elected from Bhokar assembly constituency in Nanded district, resigned from the legislative assembly, the Congress Working Committee (CWC), and the primary membership of the party.

Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan's resignation from the Congress and his purported move to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) signals a major setback for the Congress in Maharashtra. Chavan's decision follows closely on the heels of Baba Siddique's exit from the Congress to join Ajit Pawar's NCP

Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar expressed concern over the state education minister's apparent inaction in the face of an MLA making controversial remarks to school children.

In the ongoing investigation, Mumbai Police have recorded statements from Noronha's family members, including his wife, mother, and daughter. Noronha's persistent threats against Ghosalkar were known to his family.

The tragic incident took place at Noronha's office in IC Colony, Borivali (West), leaving Ghosalkar dead and Noronha, also known as 'Mauris Bhai,' taking his own life. The Mumbai Police is now handling the investigation and is expected to disclose the motives behind the killing soon.

The disturbing video showcased the horrific moment when Ghosalkar was shot in the abdomen and shoulder, raising serious concerns about the law and order situation in Maharashtra.

Ghosalkar, the son of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Vinod Ghosalkar, succumbed to his injuries, and in a shocking turn of events, Noronha took his own life. The viral video of the incident has sent shockwaves through the community, and both individuals have been declared dead by authorities.

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Abhishek Ghosalkar was shot in Dahisar area of Mumbai. The shooter, identified as Mauris Noronha, livestreamed the shooting before the turning the gun on himself.
