NEW DELHI: Launching a scathing attack against Shiv Sena leader Milind Deora (Shinde faction), Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson
Anand Dubey
on Monday said that there is nothing he can show and that he got defeated in 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
"...Aaditya Thackeray has a history of 5 years to show (the works which he has done in the past 5 years for Worli.). What history of work do you have to show? Milind ji (Milind Deora), you lost the 2014 Lok Sabha, lost the 2019 Lok Sabha, and disappeared completely from politics to do rehabilitation. Then you took the Rajya Sabha path from the back door," said the Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson.
"Now when Eknath Shinde's so-called Shiv Sena could not find any candidate, on whose head should the blame of defeat be put, then after a lot of thinking and brainstorming you were brought forward... Why should Sandeep Deshpande get himself disgraced alone, two are better than 1. Now Aaditya Thackeray will defeat both Sandeep Deshpande and Milind Deora and then become a minister...." said Anand Dubey hailing Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray.
Meanwhile, Maharashtra deputy chief minister and NCP chief Ajit Pawar will file his nomination from the Baramati assembly seat today. His nephew and grandson of Sharad Pawar, Yugendra Pawar, is contesting from the same constituency as the NCP-SP candidate.
Baramati will see another Pawar versus Pawar contest after Supriya Sule, daughter of Sharad Pawar, defeated Sunetra Pawar, wife of Ajit Pawar, during the Lok Sabha polls earlier this year.
The
Maharashtra Assembly elections
