Maharashtra Ministers Sudhir Mungantiwar and Uday Samant on Tuesday arrived at London's Victoria and Albert Museum to sign a Memorandum of Understanding to bring back Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's 'Wagh Nakh' (tiger claw) to India for a period of three years.
It was only a 14-hour meeting and they took nothing from this meeting. They did not even decide on who is going to be their PM face, said Cabinet Minister Uday Samant.
In a first, the Maharashtra government led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is planning to organize "Pro Govinda" competition, with cash prizes, for this year's ‘Dahi Handi’, an event associated with the Hindu festival of Janmashtami, state Industries Minister Uday Samant said on Saturday.
Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar) MLA Rohit Pawar on Monday staged protest at Shivaji Maharaj Statue in Maharashtra Vidhan Bhavan demanding establishing a Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) in his constituency, Karjat Jamkhed, in Ahmednagar.
"As decided by District Administration, other senior officials and as briefed by Minister Uday Samant, the rescue operations at Raigad have been called off and closed. Details of missing and the deceased can be obtained from the administration," NDRF said.
Maharashtra Industries Minister and Shiv Sena leader Uday Samant on Thursday said that the cabinet expansion will be done soon as all three parties who are part of the state government are having discussions over portfolio allocations.
"With able leaders heading the Mahayuti, we are sure of getting the numbers. Mahayuti will get more than 200 MLAs and 45+ MPs. Opposition members are scrambling to save their remaining leaders and hence resorting to lowly criticism," he said.
The leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly outrightly rejected speculations that someone from NCP (Nationalist Congress Party) is in touch with any other party and also reiterated that the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is strong and that there is no problem in the alliance.
Speaking to ANI, Minister Uday Samant said, "We agreed that CM Eknath Shinde will be our new Shivsena party chief. We will soon submit our letter to the Election Commission regarding this.
"It is not appropriate to speak on the decision taken by the court, the court has decided after listening to both parties. It is not right to speak to outsiders in a court case and I am a minister, it is not right to speak on this," said Minister Uday Samant.
