Mumbai: Amit Shah to visit Mumbai during Ganesh festival – Times of India

Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray on Monday asserted that the party’s annual Dussehra rally will be held at the Shivaji Park in Mumbai. Thackeray’s remarks came against the backdrop of his faction not yet getting a nod from the Mumbai civic body for the rally, a decades old political event held by the Sena in the sprawling Shivaji Park and synonymous with the fiery speeches of party founder late Bal Thackeray.

This will be the first Dussehra rally of the Shiv Sena after the split in the party in June this year.

The revolt by a group of Sena legislators had led to the collapse of the Thackeray-led government.On Saturday, Uddhav Thackeray’s son and former state minister Aaditya Thackeray said authorities were not accepting an application from the Shiv Sena to hold its annual Dussehra rally.Dussehra will be celebrated on October 5 this year.
