Dasara Melava 2024
The political landscape in Maharashtra is abuzz today, as four significant Dasara Melavas (Dussehra gatherings) take place, drawing attention ahead of the upcoming assembly elections. The key figures leading these gatherings are Eknath Shinde, Uddhav Thackeray, Pankaja and Dhananjay Munde, and Maratha leader Manoj Jarange.
Each is vying to make their voice the loudest in the political arena, and the state is watching closely to see who will command the largest crowd and influence.
The Thackeray-led Shiv Sena faction will host their Dasara Melava at the iconic Chhatrapati Shivaji Park in Mumbai, with the event scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. Simultaneously, Eknath Shinde’s faction will hold their own gathering at Azad Maidan. Both leaders have organized massive events, with seating arrangements for over a lakh people. The size of the crowd is expected to be a key indicator of public support, adding to the suspense about who will draw the bigger gathering.
