Name 'Missing' on Invite, CM Uddhav Skips PM Modi's Award Event; Minister Slams 'Insult to Maharashtra'

News 18  

The function for the first Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar Award, conferred on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has snowballed into a political row after Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray skipped the event and instead visited the home of an 80-year-old Shiv Sainik. Giving indication of what could have possibly miffed the chief minister, housing minister Jitendra Awhad said the Mangeshkar family had skipped adding Uddhav Thackeray’s name in the invitation card for the award ceremony, which was an “insult to 12 crore residents of Maharashtra”. “The Mangeshkar family avoided mentioning the name of the Chief Minister on the invitation card of the Lata Mangeshkar Award Ceremony. So, it’s not possible for me to not accept it.” The Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar Award shall be given to only one individual every year, as decided by the family trustees, and the inaugural honour shall be conferred on the PM in the Special Individual category.
