Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Modi-Thackeray Rally: Message For 400 Paar Doubters? | English News
Prime Minister Narendra Modi last visited Mumbai’s Shivaji Park on February 6, 2022 when legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar was cremated here. Two years later, he is returning on the same ground to address a political rally. The visuals from Shivaji Park on May 17 will contrast sharply with Raj Thackeray’s rallies during the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. Just as in the present instance, the MNS refrained from contesting elections then. However, the party chief, Thackeray, traversed Maharashtra, targeting PM Narendra Modi in public gatherings and urging voters to remove him from power. Fast forward five years, Thackeray will now stand alongside Modi, asking people to vote for the BJP to ensure Modi’s continued premiership. Some in political circles dub the upcoming event as “momentous”, marking the first joint address by the former adversaries. However, the Modi-Thackeray rally seems modest in comparison to the historical significance of Shivaji Park. Situated in the heart of Mumbai, the park holds a storied past, having witnessed numerous political upheavals.
