As the date of assembly elections in Maharashtra is coming closer, the politics of the state is heating up. Political parties are continuously accusing each other. Meanwhile, a new poster of North Indians working in Mumbai surfaced last night, saying that North Indians will be beaten if they are divided. In the poster, North Indians have been advised to be cautious.
Even in 2008, Raj Thackeray's supporters had accused North Indians of violence. Meanwhile, many North Indians working in Maharashtra were attacked. Now North Indians, who gave majority to BJP in Uttar Pradesh, are expressing their displeasure over BJP's growing closeness with Raj Thackeray.
Yogi Adityanath gave the slogan “Batange to kaatenge”.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath gave the slogan “Batange to Katenge” at a public meeting in Agra. The posters put up on the streets of Mumbai are on the lines of his slogans. Political parties across the country gave their respective reactions to CM Yogi's slogan. Former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav attacked this slogan of BJP on social media platform X. He wrote, “His negative slogan is a symbol of his disappointment and failure. As is their vision, so is their motto. This slogan has also proved that the 10 percent voters remaining with him are also on the verge of slipping. That is why they are trying to unite them by scaring them, but nothing will happen.
When are the elections in Maharashtra?
There are 288 seats in the Maharashtra Assembly, any party needs 145 seats to form the government. In the 2019 assembly elections, BJP got 105 seats, Shiv Sena got 56 seats, NCP got 54 seats and Congress got 44 seats. After this, Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress together formed the government. However, this coalition government did not last long. But in June 2022, due to internal dissent in Shiv Sena, Eknath Shinde broke ties with the Shiv Sena faction. At the same time, Ajit Pawar took a faction of NCP with him and both of them formed a new government with BJP.
