Election Commission officials checked Uddhav Thackeray's bag at Vani airport in Yavatmal.
Former Maharashtra Chief Minister and Shiv Sena (UBT) President Uddhav Thackeray reached Vani Airport in Yavatmal on Monday for election campaign. As soon as he got off the helicopter here, Election Commission officials came to check his bag, which angered Uddhav.
Uddhav made a video of officials checking bags and shared it on social media. In the video, Uddhav asked the officials to check Modi-Shah's bags as well.
Uddhav said-
check my bag You can check my urine pot if you want, but now I want a video of you guys checking Modi's bag. No wagging your tail there. Check what you need to do. I am releasing this video.
Conversation between Uddhav Thackeray and Investigating Officer
Uddhav: What is your name? Officer: My name is Amol. Uddhav Thackeray: Where do you live? Officer: I am a resident of Amravati. Uddhav: Amaravati is fine..but whose bags have you checked so far? Which leaders got their bags checked before me? Officer: I've never done this to anyone before, it's only been 4 months. Uddhav: You have not checked a single bag in 4 months. Am I the first customer you got? Officer: No sir… nothing like that. Uddhav: No, you check my bag, I won't stop you. You check my bag tell me you have checked Mindhe's (Eknath Shinde) bag yet? Have you checked the bags of Devendra Fadnavis, Ajit Pawar, Modi, Amit Shah? Officer: I didn't, I didn't get a chance. Uddhav: When Modi comes, send me the video of him checking his bag. No wagging your tail there. Also check my urine pot. Want to check the fuel tank too? Officer: No sir.
Election Commission officer Amol checked Uddhav's luggage. Meanwhile, Uddhav asked him many questions.
After checking the bag, AAP MP said – People will surely take revenge
AAP MP Sanjay Singh said- No one in Maharashtra had the courage to mistreat Balasaheb Thackeray's party, the way party leader Uddhav Thackeray was mistreated, the people of Maharashtra will learn a lesson.
Sanjay Singh said- Is Uddhav Thackeray not allowed to campaign? Can't they campaign for their candidates? Was Amit Shah's helicopter ever checked? Was Narendra Modi's helicopter ever inspected? You want to suppress the opposition.
In the Lok Sabha elections, BJP fell from 23 to 9 seats
Out of the 48 seats in Maharashtra in the Lok Sabha elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party won 30 seats and the NDA 17 seats. In which BJP got 9 seats, Shiv Sena got 7 seats and NCP got only 1 seat. BJP has lost 23 seats. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, NDA won 41 seats compared to 42 seats in 2014.
Estimated loss of BJP according to Lok Sabha Elections
If the Maharashtra Assembly elections follow the same trend as the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP will suffer. BJP will be reduced to around 60 seats. At the same time, an opposition coalition survey projected MVA to get 160 seats. Maratha movement is the biggest challenge for BJP. Apart from this, people sympathize with Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar after the split between Shiv Sena and NCP.
Assembly Elections- 2019
In 2019, there was a BJP-Shiv Sena alliance. BJP won 105 and Shiv Sena 56 seats. NCP got 54 seats and Congress got 44 seats from the alliance. BJP-Shiv Sena could have easily come to power, but the alliance broke up due to differences. On 23 November 2019, Fadnavis was sworn in as Chief Minister and Ajit Pawar as Deputy Chief Minister. However, both resigned on November 26 before the majority test. On 28 November, Shiv Sena (undivided), NCP (undivided) and Congress' Mahavikas Aghadi came to power. After this, there was a split between the Shiv Sena (undivided) and the NCP (undivided) and these two parties split into four factions. However, Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray gained in the Lok Sabha elections. Now the Assembly elections are also being held on this background.
