Considering the influence Eknath Shinde’s Sena might use to get hold of the BMC-controlled Shivaji Park for its maiden Dussehra rally on October 5, the Uddhav Thackeray faction has sought to rent the MMRDA ground at BKC for a Dussehra rally. Interestingly, the Shinde group has also applied for permission for a rally at the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) ground.
MP Arvind Sawant from Thackeray Sena wrote a letter to MMRDA’s Land and Estate cell, seeking to book MMRDA G block ground for the Dussehra rally. Sawant’s letter was, however, written on the letterhead of Bharatiya Kamgar Sena—Shiv Sena labour union. He also paid R5,900 booking amount as a demand draft. Sawant has stated that Thackrey will attend the rally. “We booked the ground for the Bharatiya Kamgar Sena rally, not for the Shiv Sena,” said Sawant, adding, “Shiv Sena’s traditional Dussehra rally will be held at Shivaji Park.” Interestingly, this is the first time that Bharatiya Kamgar Sena is organising a Dussehra rally.
