Asserting that the government at the Centre and Maharashtra would change after the 2024 polls, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray said that the winter session would be the last for the 14th Maharashtra Legislative Assembly elected in 2019.

"There is going to be a change in 2024," Aaditya, the son of former Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray who was a minister in the erstwhile Maha Vikas Aghadi government which was toppled in June 20222, said.

On a whirlwind tour of the coastal Konkan districts of Raigad, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg, Aaditya lashed out at the Eknath Shinde-led Maha Yuti government comprising BJP, Shiv Sena and NCP.

“The ensuing winter session of Maharashtra legislature (in Nagpur) is going to be the last for this ‘khokhe’ (boxes) government (Maha Yuti) and it would be the last for us as opposition (Maha Vikas Aghadi)…let me tell you, in 2024 there is going to be change in Maharashtra and the Centre,” he said. 

“This is an unconstitutional government…it has few days left, this government will not exist after 31 December, 2023,” he added. 

The statement comes at a time when the disqualification proceedings vis-a-vis two factions of Shiv Sena - headed by Shinde and Thackeray - are being heard before Maharashtra Legislative Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar.
