Shinde-led Shiv Sena may field Milind Deora against Aaditya Thackeray in Worli: Sources – India TV

Image Source : INDIA TV Milind Deora and Aaditya Thackeray. As the Maharashtra assembly elections approach, the Shinde faction of Shiv Sena is reportedly poised to nominate Milind Deora as its candidate to contest against Aaditya Thackeray in the Worli constituency. While the announcement is anticipated soon, it has not yet been officially confirmed. Aaditya Thackeray, the leader of the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray faction), recently filed his nomination, setting the stage for what could be a competitive race. Milind Deora, a seasoned politician and current Rajya Sabha MP, brings a wealth of experience, having previously served as a three-time MP from South Mumbai. He played a significant role in the Worli constituency during the Lok Sabha elections, despite it being traditionally associated with the Thackeray family. In the last assembly election, Thackeray won with a slim margin of just 6,500 votes, indicating a potentially tight contest this time around. The political dynamics are further complicated by the presence of Sandeep Deshpande from the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), who is also set to contest …

A file photo of Shiv Sena leader Milind Deora. | Photo Credit: EMMANUAL YOGINI Shiv Sena’s Rajya Sabha member Milind Deora has claimed that the Congress, which once ushered in economic reforms, currently has a divisive economic agenda which seeks to derail India’s economic growth trajectory. In an interview to PTI, Mr. Deora said the Congress was a centrist party but it “veered very, very Left” and talks about policies that have failed around the world when the party should be talking about policies which can fuel innovation and investment. The economic reforms of 1991, the Congress’ policies of the previous 60 or 70 years, facilitated the creation of businessmen and wealth creators, he noted. Now the Congress party is trying to “name call them, abuse them, criticise them”, the former Union Minister claimed. “It is a symptom of the fact that the Congress is moving away from its own legacy,” he said. “The Congress had an economic agenda to take India forward. Today, I find the Congress has an economic agenda which is divisive, …

New Delhi: Former Union Minister Milind Deora, who crossed over to Shiv Sena from the Congress today, told NDTV that “Congress’s politics felt suffocating and toxic” and that he wished them well. The 47-year-old, who has been among the party’s disgruntled section, had slammed the party earlier as well, saying it had changed greatly since his father joined it in 1968. “I found it suffocating, and toxic. It certainly isn’t the Congress my father joined. They are not the same like they were 20 years,” he told NDTV. As an example, he said the party had resorted to name calling and personal attacks on industrialists and businessmen. “The same party that ushered in economic reforms 30 years ago, is a party that is abusing industrialists, businessmen and calling businessmen ‘anti-nationals’,” he had said earlier today.
