“Don’t Angry Me”
Have you seen the Bollywood potboiler Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Rowdy Rathore’? In that movie, there is this dialogue which Kumar is heard saying every now and then whenever he is challenged by the evil forces and the goonda’s. The dialogue is ‘Don’t Angry Me’. Why I don’t know but I have begun to imagine Fadnavis must be uttering this dialogue 100 times a day to himself these days. Problem is, that continuous nudging, poking, fake cases, planning, corruption, murders etc that MVA keeps doing, it makes Fadnavis very very angry and then just like that Akshay Kumar beats his nemises (and a bit of green monster HULK), likewise Fadnavis comes tearing down on this MVA Government and puts 1 or 2 big people behind the bars literally finishing off their careers. Last Budget session it was the infamous Mansukh Hiran and the Antilia case, this time it is the public prosecutor case. Let’s see what unfolds and what ‘Akela Devendra Fadnavis Kya Kya Karta Hai’…
Well, Budget session 2022 began with LoP Devendra Fadnavis tearing down the house with revelation of how state agencies were used to frame opposition leaders. The speech in the Vidhan Sabha which lasted for 1 hour, was one of the best revelations I had heard in a long time. Last year it was during the same Budget session when Fadnavis, I clearly remember his walk to his table at Vidhan Sabha, he had revealed about death of Mansukh Hiren and the whole year we saw a ‘lot of wickets tumbling down’ of the MVA Government after Fadnavis had batted. Will Fadnavis’s batting this time hit the opposition and lead to more debacle? If you ask me, this time not any 1 Minister or 1 or 2 bureaucrats, but I am sensing the whole MVA might tumble down in 3 to 4 months. And before I jump the gun, let me tell you, IF NOT NOW, and if somehow MVA government manages to duct the ball, then forget BJP for next 20 years in Maharashtra, as written in my last blog.
Also, I feel that there will be President’s Rule imposed and we might have mid-term polls in & around September. BJP will be more aggressive and coming down heavily now on the Sena-NCP especially after the results of 5 state elections held recently. Confidence of the BJP is high and the mandate from Delhi is very clear. I even feel, BJP might tighten the screws if central agencies ARREST the likes of Yashwant Jadhav or even an Anil Parab or a Sanjay Raut. Already the centre has shown their intentions when the likes of Rahul Kanal, Sada Kadam, Sanjay Kadam got raided by the IT, who are known close associates of Uddhav & Aaditya Thackeray. This is Modi and this is Amit Shah. Modus operandi is simple. They have a lot of patience. Slowly & steadily they will break your support system before attacking you directly, and when you are crippled from all angles, surrender is the only option left for you!
Moving on, isn’t it every parent’s dream to see the child build his own empire bigger than what father has built? I am sure it is! Here in the state, I am sure CM Uddhav Thackeray must be super proud of his son Aaditya who is slowly and steadily building his own ’empire’. Heard no Arvind America wala or Harshal but most trusted lieutenant Milind Narvekar along with Varun are helping Aaditya ‘prosper’ step-by-step in various projects. PS or OSD to Aaditya, Borkar should also not be forgotten for his ‘contribution’. And yes, before I forget how I can not mention the special bond these days Ajit Pawar is enjoying with both Thackeray father and son duo. A special friendship cord is stuck and ‘funds’ are allocated on a phone call too, claim sources!
