Ahead of his much-publicised visit to Ayodhya, Shinde referred to Pawar's comments on Friday to a private television channel contending that the US short-seller Hindenburg Research's report on the Adani Group appeared to a 'targetted attack' on the Bharatiya Janata Party government at the Centre. "The Congress has launched an agitation demanding an explanation for the Rs 20,000 crore of the Adani Group. Even (ex-CM) Uddhav Thackeray has repeatedly spoken on this issue.

This will be Shinde's first visit to Ayodhya as the chief minister of Maharashtra. The Shiv Sena has booked almost all the hotels, guest houses and dharamshalas to accommodate the Shiv Sena ministers, party MPs and MLAs. Thousands of Shiv Sainiks are expected to reach Ayodhya on Saturday to welcome Shinde.

The Shiv Sena has booked almost all the hotels, guest houses and dharamshalas to accommodate the Ministers, party MPs and MLAs. Thousands of Shiv Sainiks are expected to reach Ayodhya on Saturday to welcome Shinde. Apart from the Chief Minister's entourage and Shiv Sainiks from Maharashtra, around 10,000 Shiv Sena activists from different parts of Uttar Pradesh will also gather in Ayodhya.

This will be a second visit by a Maharashtra CM to the upcoming Ram Temple - in March 2020, then Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray had prayed there and now present Shinde will perform an 'aarti' there. Shinde will be accompanied by his party Ministers, MLAs, MPs and other leaders on their maiden trip to Ayodhya.

The war between Congress-Sena-UBT suddenly erupted again after Thackeray raised objections to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remarks two days ago and said such "insults" to the "deity" of Maharashtra would not be tolerated, and party MP Sanjay Raut endorsed the comments.

The audit, covering nine key BMC departments, was performed for works carried out between November 28, 2019 - the day when Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) came to power in the state and Uddhav Thackeray took oath as the Chief Minister - and October 31, 2022. Ordered on October 31, 2022 by the new government headed by.

A five-judge constitution bench, headed by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and comprising Justices M.R. Shah, Krishna Murari, Hima Kohli and P.S. Narasimha, before reserving the verdict, shot a volley of questions at senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing the Thackeray group.

In a counter-affidavit, the EC said: "Since the impugned order was passed not in an administrative capacity of the commission but in a quasi-judicial capacity under Paragraph 15 of the Symbols Order, it has no contentions to make on merits of the case as the impugned order is a well-reasoned order and covers all the issues raised by the petitioner."

Senior advocate Harish Salve, representing the Shinde group, submitted before a five-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud that the then Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari did nothing wrong to call Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government to prove its majority on the floor of the House last year.

Soon afterwards, Desai, a close confidante of the late Balasaheb Thakeray, and his son and former CM Uddhav Thackeray and the family for over five decades, expressed anguish over his son's move to join the Shiv Sena, and asserted how "he (Bhushan) has nothing to do with either politics or Shiv Sena".
