Uddhav, Shinde Set for Rival Dussehra Rallies in Mumbai After Shinde Shifts to Nesco

Each serves as a prelude to the BMC contest with Shinde recasting his event around farmer relief.

Overview

  • Uddhav Thackeray will address supporters at Shivaji Park, while Eknath Shinde moved his rally indoors to the Nesco Centre in Goregaon due to waterlogged Azad Maidan.
  • Shinde urged party workers from flood‑hit Vidarbha, Marathwada and North Maharashtra to stay back to assist farmers, presenting his gathering as relief‑focused.
  • Mumbai Police announced a large citywide deployment, including 2,890 officers and 16,552 constables, with additional units and venue‑specific details to manage rallies and Durga immersion processions.
  • Uddhav is expected to press the state on flood compensation and loan waivers for affected farmers as both factions sharpen messages for imminent local body elections.
  • Speculation persists that MNS chief Raj Thackeray could join Uddhav at Shivaji Park, though participation remains unconfirmed with conflicting signals from MNS leaders.
