Top leaders of Maha Vikas Aghadi, including Shiv Sena-Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray chief Uddhav Thackeray, Nationalist Congress Party-Sharadchandra Pawar head Sharad Pawar along with Maharashtra Navnirman Sena president Raj Thackeray, will lead the Opposition’s November 1 protest march in Mumbai against alleged irregularities in voters’ lists.
According to media reports, The Thackeray cousins, warming up to each other after years of political estrangement, and Pawar held a meeting at the Y B Chavan in Mumbai to finalise the nitty-gritty of the grand joint rally, where senior Congress leader Naseem Khan, Peasants and Workers Party (PWP)’s Jayant Patil, and leaders of Left parties were also present.
State Congress president Harshwardhan Sapkal, whose outfit is a key constituent of the Opposition MVA, noted his party completely supports the agitation, but remained non-committal on he himself taking part in the march, arguing ‘individual leaders are not important’.
Talking to reporters after the meeting, Shiv Sena-UBT leader Anil Parab said the protest march, coming ahead of local body polls in Maharashtra, will be taken out from the Fashion Street in south Mumbai to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) headquarters.
