Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has announced his support to NDA candidate Draupadi Murmu in the presidential election. Even after this, Uddhav Thackeray was not invited to the reception of Draupadi Murmu in Mumbai. Let us inform that on Thursday (July 14), the BJP and Eknath Shinde faction gave a grand welcome to Draupadi Murmu in Mumbai. But Uddhav Thackeray was not invited to this program.
Uddhav did not get ‘Bhav’ even after support: Let us tell you that Uddhav Thackeray has given his support to Draupadi Murmu without the appeal of NDA. In such a situation, neither Uddhav Thackeray nor his 16 MPs were invited. In fact, Shiv Sena MPs had appealed to Uddhav Thackeray that the Shiv Sena chief should support the NDA candidate in the presidential election.
Draupadi Murmu reached Mumbai on Thursday. During this, he met all the MLAs and MPs of the state and sought support for himself.
Steps taken to stop the rift in the party: It is known that Uddhav Thackeray had made up his mind to support the opposition candidate Yashwant Sinha at the beginning of the presidential election. But on Tuesday, he announced his support to Murmu. It is believed that this step has been taken to stop the growing rift within the party.
In fact, due to dissatisfaction within the party, the MVA government of Maharashtra fell on the last day when the MLAs of his own party rebelled. Last month, 40 out of 55 Shiv Sena MLAs had joined the camp of rebel Eknath Shinde.
Presidential election: The presidential election will be held on July 18 and the result will be out on July 21. NDA candidate has the support of many parties in this election. Jharkhand Mukti Morcha has also announced its support to Draupadi Murmu as a tribal woman. On July 15, Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party chief Om Prakash Rajbhar announced his support to the NDA candidate despite having an alliance with the SP.
