Though Chief Minister Eknath Shinde faction has got nod to address a rally on Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority exhibition ground at Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), uncertainty continues to looms large over Uddhav Thackeray’s Dasara rally at Shivtirth (Shivaji Park referred by the Shiv Sena) on October 5 as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) yet to take call.
While both, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena faction and rival Eknath Shinde camp had filed applications with the BMC seeking a nod to conduct the annual customary rally at Shivaji Park. Applications were also filed with the MMRDA for the exhibition ground.
The MMRDA has accepted Mr. Shinde faction plea while rejecting the Thackeray camp's application for another plot on the same ground, saying it has already been reserved for an event.
