Trying To Form Separate Alliance Of Oppn For 2024 Polls: Shiv Sena On Thackeray & KCR Meet

The meeting assumes significance as it comes just days after the presentation of the Union Budget and the upcoming assembly elections in five states, including politically crucial Uttar Pradesh.

New Delhi: With Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray all set to meet his Telangana counterpart K. Chandrasekhar Rao, the Shiv Sena on Wednesday said it is part of the efforts to form an alliance of all opposition parties to contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections together against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

“We have been working for the past month and are trying to form a separate organization (alliance) of all Opposition to contest the 2024 polls together,” ANI quoted Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut as saying on being asked about the Telangana Chief Minister’s upcoming meeting with Thackeray.

The meeting assumes significance as it comes just days after the presentation of the Union Budget and the upcoming assembly elections in five states, including politically crucial Uttar Pradesh.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Maharashtra Chief Minister criticized the ruling dispensation stating that the Union Budget had failed to address problems such as unemployment, inflation, declining incomes and challenges faced by the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector.

“Rising unemployment, inflation, declining incomes have caused great uneasiness in the minds of common people. The Corona outbreak poses a major challenge to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. Private investment is declining at a time when the purchasing power of the people is declining,” CMO Maharashtra said in a tweet in Marathi.

The Telangana Chief Minister also lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget.

“I appeal to the people of India, after seeing the budget of today, I am totally upset. The false propaganda which has been propagated through the dais of the parliament is totally wrong. The Government of India has no respect for the farmers, no respect for the poor,” he told reporters in Hyderabad, PTI reported.

“Let’s not maintain silence. There is a need for a qualitative change in the nation as 75 valuable years have gone. It’s high time now. I appeal to the youth of this country. The future is yours. Please awaken,” he added.
