Prioritising Hindutva, youth leadership, and good governance Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena unveils national ambitions and action plans and aims to expand its reach in 19 States by 2024 General Elections, according to top Shiv Sena leader and former Union Minister Anandrao Adsul.
“We want to honour and take forward the legacy of Bala Saheb Thakre with regards to propagation of Hindutva, good governance, and age-old alliances and accordingly we have chalked out its national plans and actions.The party aims to reach out and strengthen its hold in 19 states at the earliest. We are reaching out with people with our Hindutva and good governance agenda. In these states, with appointments of Block, Zila and State Pramukhs (Head), the party has geared up to enter into electoral politics in alliance with our old allies,” said Anandrao Adsul who was also Minister of State during Atal Bihari Bajpayee-led NDA Government.
On the auspicious occasion of Navratra on Monday late evening, senior Shiv Sena leaders and former Union Minister Anandrao Adsul visits Sankat Mochan Hanuman Mandir in New Delhi. He was welcomed at the temple by Mahant Suraj Giri and Dhanvarsha Group Chairman Anshumman Joshi. Talking to reporters Adsul said, “The party would leverage youth leadership to expand its base in 19 states. His son Abhijeet Adsul, as National General Secretary of the party, has reached out to masses of these states and formed executive committees from block to state levels. Our Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has given a governance model to Maharashtra and the party’s young leaders bank up on that to expand the base in other states too.”
On being asked about an alliance with old ally BJP, the veteran Sena leader said, “Shiva Sena would honour and take forward the legacy of Bala Saheb Thakre with regards to Hindutva and alliance with its old ally BJP. Shiv Sena has proved its good governance in eight months of rule in Maharashtra and the people of the state have been witnessing overall development, said Adsul, the three-times winner of the Sansad Ratna award.
Welcoming the leaders of Maharashtra at the temple Dhanvarsha Group Chairman Anshumman Joshi welcomes Anandrao Adsul at the temple and said that the Maha Government has emerged as number one in the country in terms of Ease of Doing Business. He also said that Delhi also needs Maharashtra’s model of development. He said that huge investments are coming to the state from the big corporate houses. These investments would lead to growth with huge employment, Joshi said, adding that Delhi, being an international business and trading hub, also need to replicate the same model of governance to achieve robust growth.
Shiv Sena is in an aggressive mood to expand nationally. At its first national executive meeting last month, it was decided that Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde will remain the “chief leader” of the Shiv Sena. Anandrao Adsul resigned from Udhav Thakre-led Shiv Sena last year in July. The formation of a national executive by the Chief Leader of Shiv Sena had endorsed the appointment of Anandrao Adsul and Ramdas Kadam as the party’s leaders.
