21 जुलै 2022, मुंबई राजकीय आरसा – श्री देवेंद्र गंगाधरराव फडणवीस काल सर्वोच्च न्यायालयाने ओबीसी आरक्षणाचा मुद्द्यावर निर्णायक बाजू घेऊन त्यांचे राजकिय आरक्षण बहाल केले. गेले अडीच-तीन वर्ष फोफावलेल्या अनिश्चिततेला पूर्णविराम मिळेल असे दिसतेय. मागच्या जुलै मध्ये तत्कालीन विरोधीपक्षनेते आणि माजी मुख्यमंत्री श्री देवेन्द्र फडणवीस यांनी सदनात घोषणा केली होती की त्यांचे सरकार आले तर तीन ते चार महिन्यात हे आरक्षण बहाल करण्यात येईल असे प्रयत्न करू. काळाची किमया बघा, आज ते उपमुख्यमंत्री आहेत आणि हा निर्णय आला. पदग्रहण केल्यापासून दोन-तीन आठवड्यात त्यांनी या विषयी निर्णायक हालचाली केल्या असे म्हंटले जाते. असो, राज्यात राजकिय स्थैर्यासाठी हे होणे आवश्यक होते. तसे बघितले गेले तर, राज्यात स्थैर्य येईल असे दर्शवणारी गेल्या चार आठवड्यात घडलेली ही एकमेव घटना नाही. याची नांदी जून मध्ये घडलेल्या राज्यसभा निवडणुकीत लागली होती. भाजपचे श्री धनंजय महाडिक यांनी भाजप आणि मित्र पक्षांकडे संख्याबळ नसतांना अटीतटीच्या लढतीत तिसरी जागा जिंकली. त्या वेळेस महाविकास आघाडीच्या तीन मतांवर आक्षेप आला होता, त्यातील...

19 July 2022, Mumbai D emystifying Devendra FADNAVIS T he night of 20 th  June 2022 was no special other than it was the eve of the longest day of the year. It was quite routine for ordinary Indians, but for a majority in Maharashtra, it was a night to be spent curiously and remembered – as the counting of votes of 10 MLC seats was being conducted. Eight out of ten results were in-line of expectation, the last two were politicians and political experts were looking closely. And then, BJP’s Sh. Prasad Lad got declared as winner along with Sh Bhai Jagtap of INC. It was a big jolt to the MahaVikasAgahdi (MVA) bosses – since it blatantly proved that the rift is wide. All in the BJP camp were celebrating in high Josh, however one person who appeared busy texting something to somebody, he was ex-chief minister and Leader of Opposition and ex-chief minister of Maharashtra -  Sh Devendra G. Fadnavis . Unlike the celebrations barely ten days ago, i.e., on the 11th June when BJP’s t...
