Thackeray faction raises “50 Khoke” slogans in front of CM Shinde at Maharashtra Assembly
Mumbai: MLAs of former Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray’s faction on Wednesday protested against Chief Minister Eknath Shinde at the Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha and raised slogans against his betrayal to the Shiv Sena Chief Uddhav Thackeray.
The MLAs raised the slogan “50 Khoke” (50 Crores) to take a dig at Shinde claiming that his faction of MLAs were bribed 50 Crore rupees each by the BJP for the rebellion.
The video of the incident is being widely shared across social media platforms. In the video, the MLAs can be seen raising the slogan as the CM steps out of the assembly along with some of his MLAs and officials.
The Uddhav Thackeray government collapsed in Maharashtra earlier in June this year after a BJP-enabled rebellion in the Shiv Sena by Eknath Shinde, who is now Chief Minister.

RJD surprise element in J’khand polls, party candidates leading in 5 of 6 assembly seats
Ranchi(PTI): The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has emerged as a surprise element in the Jharkhand assembly elections with its candidates leading in five of the six seats where the party is contesting, according to trends available on the Election Commission's website on Saturday.
RJD candidates in five assembly seats were leading over sitting BJP legislators.
In 2019, RJD had secured only the Chatra seat where its nominee Satyanand Bhokta won.
In Deoghar, RJD’s Suresh Paswan was leading by 19,581 votes over his nearest rival and BJP's sitting MLA Narayan Das after the third round of counting.
RJD’s Sanjay Prasad Yadav was ahead by 19,867 votes in Godda over BJP MLA Amit Kumar Mandal after the sixth round of counting.
In Koderma, RJD nominee Subhash Prasad Yadav, who was out on bail, was leading by a margin of 3,471 votes over BJP’s sitting legislator Neera Yadav.
Subhas Prasad Yadav, considered to be one of the close aides of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, was recently granted bail by the Supreme Court in a money laundering case.
Party’s Naresh Prasad Singh was leading by 5,159 votes after the fourth round of counting over BJP’s Bishrampur MLA Ramchandra Chandravanshi.
RJD's Sanjay Kumar Singh Yadav was also leading from Hussainabad by 8,213 votes after the fourth round of counting over BJP MLA Kamlesh Kumar Singh.
Party’s candidate Rashmi Prakash, however, was trailing from Chatra by 3,776 votes.
Bhokta did not contest the elections this time, and his daughter-in-law Prakash was given a ticket.
