For how many years will we continue to work? We have been working for 40 years. Young leaders must take the command of the party, and he (Aaditya) has been doing it,” Raut said.”He will do it officially too. He has the capability, and we will welcome him,” he added.Aaditya, the elder son of Uddhav Thackeray, currently represents the Worli assembly constituency in Mumbai. He is the president of the party’s youth wing and served as the state environment minister during the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, which was in power from November 2019 to June 2022.Earlier this week, six Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs crossed over to the rival faction led by Maharashtra deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde.Raut’s remarks came as party chief Uddhav Thackeray planned a tour of the constituencies represented by the six party MPs who crossed over to the rival Shiv Sena faction.He described Uddhav Thackeray’s tour as part of an outreach effort to directly explain the party’s position to voters and workers in the constituencies of the MPs who defected.The six Sena (UBT) MPs — Sanjay Dina Patil (Mumbai North East), Omprakash Rajenimbalkar (Dharashiv), Sanjay Deshmukh (Yavatmal-Washim), Sanjay Jadhav (Parbhani), Bhausaheb Wakchaure (Shirdi) and Nagesh Patil Ashtikar (Hingoli) — joined the ruling Sena on June 22.Meanwhile, Raut chose not to address the defected leaders as “rebels”, arguing that the term should be reserved for freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev rather than politicians switching sides for money, power and protection.Alleging that the MPs sold themselves for crores of rupees, Raut maintained that the ground-level party cadre remained firmly with Uddhav Thackeray.Get the latest India news and live updates.

NEW DELHI: Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav Friday flayed the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which appears to be on the defensive, after the arrest of eight people in the Ayodhya Ram Temple fund embezzlement case.Launching full frontal attack on the BJP, which lend political support to the Ram Mandir movement, Akhilesh Yadav said the arrest in the embezzlement case would lead to the “downfall” of the party’s “glittering empire built on arrogance”.”The mask of those claiming to be devotees has finally slipped, as Lord Ram’s divine justice has prevailed,” the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister wrote. Akhilesh claimed the unravelling of the case was only “chapter one of the reckoning” and that the fallout would only intensify, with the BJP and its affiliates, “including the RSS”, beginning to “expose one another”.”Along with the PM CARES Fund, even unregistered entities will now have to account for their actions. The ‘BJP and the gang’ will not escape the God’s audit,” he said.Akhilesh Yadav’s X postAkhilesh’s remark comes hours after Champat Rai resigned as general secretary of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, reportedly on “moral grounds”, amid the ongoing controversy over the alleged embezzlement of donations. Trustee Anil Mishra has also stepped down.The Uttar Pradesh government recently ordered a probe after allegations surfaced that devotees’ offerings had been misappropriated.On Thursday, eight people named in an FIR in connection with the alleged embezzlement of temple donations were arrested.

Remember these students. Every one of them,” the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha wrote on X while responding to a post by fellow Congress leader Pawan Khera, who shared the names of 14 such aspirants.”When PM Modi praised Dharmendra Pradhan ji on his birthday, did he even spare a thought for these children?” Rahul Gandhi added.The Rae Bareli MP has repeatedly targeted the Centre over the NEET-UG paper leak and related issues.His remarks came after PM Modi wished Pradhan on his 57th birthday, praising his “commendable efforts” in implementing the National Education Policy.”Birthday wishes to Union Minister Shri Dharmendra Pradhan Ji.
