There seems to be trouble brewing in the Shinde-Fadnavis paradise. While CM Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis seem to be running the state together, the situation appears different in Thane. On Shinde’s home ground, Thane, the BJP has started raising issues that could spell trouble for the CM. The Shinde-Sena has retaliated with a member saying issues are being taken care of and BJP should note this before blaming its ally.

Diva City President of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Rohidas Munde has raised the issue of  the dumping ground and other civic issues. “The Shiva Sena makes announcements every time before elections that the Diva dumping ground will be closed. But it has not yet been closed,” said Munde. Due to the dumping ground, residents have to bear the foul stench and face health issues. It receives 2,000-3,000 tonnes of garbage every day.
