    Maharashtra : BRS president and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao will be addressing a public meeting in Aurangabad, Maharashtra on Monday. Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), in a tweet, said Aurangabad has been decked up for the “massive” meeting with an air of excitement among people. “Aurangabad decks up for massive BRS public meeting today. There’s an air of excitement and enthusiasm among people in Aurangabad and its neighbouring areas ahead of the third public meeting of the BRS in Maharashtra,” BRS tweeted.

    It will be the third meeting that the BRS is holding in Maharashtra after the party was rechristened last year. Earlier, BRS had organised meetings in Nanded and Kandhar in the western state. KCR, as the BRS chief is also known, had said party vehicles will tour every village in all 288 Assembly constituencies of Maharashtra to form farmers’ committees. He also pointed out that the state has recorded the highest number of farmers’ suicides in the country. He had also questioned why there is water shortage in the western state even though big rivers such as Godavari and Krishna originate from there.

  • Maharashtra govt will collapse in 15-20 days, its ‘death warrant’ issued: Raut

    Maharashtra govt will collapse in 15-20 days, its ‘death warrant’ issued: Raut

    Jalgaon: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Sunday claimed the “death warrant” of the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government has been issued and it will collapse in the next 15-20 days.

    The ruling Shiv Sena (led by Shinde), however, dubbed Raut as a “fake astrologer” and said there are many such leaders in the Uddhav Thackeray-led Sena (UBT) who make such predictions.

    Talking to reporters in Jalgaon district of north Maharashtra, Raut, a key leader of former CM Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena (UBT), said his party was waiting for the court’s order and expecting that justice will be done.

    The Rajya Sabha member was referring to the Supreme Court’s judgement pending on a batch of pleas including one seeking disqualification of 16 Shiv Sena MLAs (of Shinde’s party) who revolted against Thackeray’s leadership.

    “The government of the existing chief minister and his 40 MLAs will collapse in 15-20 days. The death warrant of this government has been issued. It is now to be decided who will sign it,” Raut claimed.

    The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader had earlier claimed the Shinde government will collapse in February.

    In Pune, Maharashtra Education Minister Deepak Kesarkar, who belongs to the Shinde-led Sena, termed Raut as a “fake astrologer”.
