Raju Shetti meets Uddhav Thackeray, but talk of political alliance with MVA

The Hindu  

Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana chief and farmer leader Raju Shetti on Tuesday met Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray at the latter’s residence in Mumbai. Although the meeting at Mr. Thackeray’s residence sparked some speculation about the SSS joining the Opposition alliance Maha Vikas Aghadi, Congress, and the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party faction), Mr. Shetti quickly dismissed allegations of any potential political alliance. Mr. Shetti, a former two-time MP from Hatkanangale in Kolhapur district, said that he met Mr. Thackeray because the Sena, too, had started a battle against the Adani Group, an industrial conglomerate which, as per Mr. Shetti, was against the best interests of the State’s farmers. Despite consecutively winning the 2009 and 2014 general elections, Mr. Shetti’s tie-up with Sharad Pawar’s NCP and the Congress ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha proved disastrous, as he was perceived as dallying with the very sugar barons he had once fiercely opposed.
