Shiv Sena(UBT) to hold protests in Maharashtra demanding resignation of 'tainted' ministers

Shiv Sena(UBT) launches statewide protests demanding resignation of controversial ministers in BJP-led Maharashtra government

"The government should immediately take action against scam-tainted ministers - Uddhav Thackeray"

Mumbai, Aug 11

Shiv Sena(UBT) will hold protests on Monday across the state demanding the removal of 'tainted ministers' from the BJP-led Mahayuti government in Maharashtra.

The party chief, Uddhav Thackeray, will lead a protest in Dadar close to the party headquarters, Sena Bhavan. He will be accompanied by former minister and party leader Aaditya Thackeray and will demand the resignation of ministers embroiled in various controversies, including the honey trap case and corruption charges.

The party wants the government should immediately take action against such scam-tainted ministers instead of giving them a clean chit.

The party proposes to hold protests in front of the offices of the District Collectors across the state. Shiv Sena's "Jan Aakrosh" agitation coincides with the protest organised by the INDIA bloc in Delhi against the Election Commission of India over the allegations of vote theft.

The ministers under Shiv Sena(UBT)'s radar are former Agriculture Minister Manikrao Kokate, Ministers of State for Home (Urban) and Revenue Yogesh Kadam, School Education Minister Dadaji Bhuse and other ministers, including Jaykumar Gore, Nitesh Rane, Sanjay Rathod and Bharat Gogawale.

Kokate, who, despite being caught in controversy over playing rummy in the state council and terming the state government a beggar, was bailed out. He was stripped of the agriculture department and allocated the departments of sports, youth welfare, minorities affairs and Awqaf.

Yogesh Kadam was targeted over allegations made in and outside the state legislature about a dance bar in his mother's name, but no action was taken against him.

Shiv Sena(UBT) legislator in the state council had accused Kadam of connections with illegal sand trading, mining and the Savali bar in Kandivali in western suburbs, where police recently conducted a raid for illegally running the dance bar and detained 22 bar girls and customers. Parab demanded the resignation of Kadam.

The Thackeray camp has accused Minister Dadaji Bhuse of corruption and irregularities in the school education department.

Why only target BJP ministers? Uddhav's own party members were involved in scams when they were in power. This seems like political drama before elections 🤔

The honey trap case and dance bar scandal show how low our politicians can stoop. We need strong laws to prevent such misconduct. Jai Maharashtra! 🇮🇳

Instead of protests, why not present concrete evidence in court? Public demonstrations won't solve anything if there's no proper legal follow-up.

Corruption in education department is most shameful! Our children's future is at stake. Bhuse should be investigated properly. Education minister should be spotless!

All parties are same - whether BJP or Shiv Sena. They just point fingers at each other while looting public money. When will we get honest leaders? 😔

The timing is suspicious - just before elections. If they were really concerned about corruption, they should have raised these issues much earlier.
