From the heart of Mumbai, Congress leader Hussain Dalwai unleashes a barrage of sarcasm targeting BJP’s Rajya Sabha candidates from Maharashtra. He spotlighted the uneasy alliance between Vinod Tawde and CM Devendra Fadnavis, insisting central mandates trumped their discord.
‘They bowed to Delhi’s decree, with Fadnavis playing general secretary,’ Dalwai jabbed. The slot shifted from Ramdas Athawale to Tawde. ‘Parties handle their nominations,’ he said dismissively.
Addressing Maha Vikas Aghadi dynamics, Dalwai forecasted harmony. ‘Rajya Sabha seat to Congress; Shiv Sena (UBT) takes Legislative Council. No alliance ends over one berth,’ he asserted, alluding to Sharad Pawar’s reserve.
On repatriating Indians amid Iran-Israel clashes, Dalwai rejected hype. ‘Standard protocol—VP Singh did it for Kuwait stragglers,’ he recalled. ‘These are our earners abroad, bolstering remittances. Duty calls, not accolades.’
Cricket nation’s pulse races toward Wankhede’s India-England semi-final and Ahmedabad’s finale. Dalwai protested vehemently: ‘Cricket’s soul is Mumbai; Gujarat grabs it all. Locals must protest—Gujaratis know profit, not play.’ He advocated for Wankhede finale. ‘Ahmedabad’s last with PM Modi spelled defeat. Bring it home!’
Predicting triumph for India, Dalwai’s multifaceted remarks blend alliance talks, foreign policy realism, and a passionate plea for Mumbai’s cricket primacy.
