CMs Arvind Kejriwal, Bhagwant Mann Meet Uddhav Thackeray In Mumbai
The meeting has been called by Uddhav Thackeray at his residence in Mumbai.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, in Mumbai for ABP Network Ideas of India Summit 2023, met former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday. The meeting was called by Uddhav Thackeray at his residence Matoshree in Mumbai. Kejriwal was accompanied by Rajya Sabha MPs and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) senior leaders Sanjay Singh and Raghav Chadha.
Sources informed ABP Live that the three leaders will discuss ways to unite the opposition ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The discussion may also include ways to integrate an opposition alliance with Congress, sources told ABP live.
Uddhav Thackeray is already preparing to organise another big meeting of opposition leaders in Mumbai at the end of March.
Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) president Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday asked his loyalists not to support the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in any way in the upcoming Kasba Peth and Chinchwad Assembly bypolls in Pune district. The former chief minister asked his supporters not to show any sympathy to the BJP and not to vote for it as it is trying to destroy the Shiv Sena by engineering a split.
"We did vote for BJP when we were in alliance. But although we were against Congress and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), these parties never targeted us the way BJP is doing now," he told party supporters in a virtual message.
Meanwhile, AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal will visit Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh next month to launch his party's foray into these states that are slated to go to polls later this year.
Kejriwal will launch his party's poll campaign in Karnataka on March 4 and will visit Chhattisgarh and sound AAP's poll bugle in the Congress-ruled state on March 5, sources told PTI.
He will launch the AAP's poll campaign in Rajasthan on March 13, PTI sources further added. The AAP leader will visit Madhya Pradesh, ruled by the BJP, on March 14 to launch his party's poll campaign in the state.
