Shiv Sena (UBT) President Uddhav Thackeray criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his family during a meeting with party office bearers in Mumbai on Saturday. Thackeray made an indirect reference to PM Modi’s family and stated, “Before speaking about dynasties, one should learn how to take care of one’s own family.”

He expressed his thoughts during a program called ‘Hou De Charcha’ (Let People Speak).

Thackeray continued, “In recent days, we have been accused of promoting dynastic rule. However, those who have neglected their own families won’t understand the concept of dynasties.” He also mentioned, “We have united to oppose autocracy,” referring to the opposition alliance.

Bal Thackeray was also against some of the BJP’s policies: Uddhav Thackeray

Thackeray shared anecdotes about past agitations against cooking gas price hikes and informed party workers that his father, Balasaheb Thackeray, opposed certain BJP policies. He also took a dig at PM Modi, suggesting that those without a family history to discuss criticise others for protecting dynasties.

Thackeray advised party workers to prepare for early elections. “Someone informed me that the BJP has reserved all airplanes and helicopters in December. This implies that elections could be held around that period,” he remarked.

Nikki Haley hammers Kamala Harris’ record: ‘She has failed’ at ‘everything she’s ever been given’

Haley challenged Harris supporters to point out her accomplishments as vice president

When Atlantic writer Jemele Hill suggested critiques of Kamala Harris are rooted in racism, Republican hopeful Nikki Haley challenged Harris supporters to name a single accomplishment of hers.

Haley, a former United Nations ambassador and one of the many contenders for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, had recently declared that “everyone in America can see Joe Biden’s decline and have concerns about his ability to serve a second term.”

“They know a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for Kamala Harris,” she added/.

Hill took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to label Haley as racist for lacking confidence in the vice president who has made frequent headlines for public gaffes and commonly referred to as “word salads.”

“So part of the reason racism is such a terrible sickness in this country is because politicians like this know they can rally a certain base with the fear of OH MY GOD A BLACK WOMAN MIGHT BE PRESIDENT IF YOU DON’T VOTE FOR ME,” Hill wrote.

She then appeared to imply that such rhetoric helped cause a horrific, racially motivated shooting that occurred over the weekend in Jacksonville, Florida, “Then we want to act all surprised when the most hateful part of the base decides they need to act out on their feelings of hatred.”

Haley was then asked in a Tuesday interview on Fox News, “What do you say to this idea that you saying ‘Kamala Harris could become president, we should all be fearful of that’ – I think is paraphrasing what you said – is racist?

“I mean, she is saying that to a minority female that’s running for president,” Haley replied, scoffing at the accusation.

Auction Notice To Sunny Deol’s Bungalow Withdrawn, Congress Has Questions

Mr Deol’s property was put on the block on Sunday by Bank of Baroda to recover ₹ 56 crore through an e-auction to be held on August 25.

Mumbai: The auction notice for actor and BJP MP Sunny Deol’s bungalow in Mumbai’s Juhu has been withdrawn, the state-owned Bank of Baroda said in a statement today.
Mr Deol’s property was put on the block on Sunday by Bank of Baroda to recover ₹ 56 crore through an e-auction to be held on August 25. The Gurdaspur MP has been in default on a ₹ 55.99 crore loan from Bank of Baroda since December 2022.

“Corrigendum to e-auction notice with regards to sale auction notice in respect of Mr Ajay Singh Deol alias Mr Sunny Deol stands withdrawn due to technical reasons,” the Bank of Baroda said in a statement today.

The bank had said on Sunday that the auction of the Juhu property known as Sunny Villa would commence at ₹ 51.43 crore. The minimum bid amount was set at ₹ 5.14 crore.

Additionally, the 599.44 square metre property, which houses Sunny Villa and Sunny Sounds, was also set to be auctioned off. Sunny Sounds is a company owned by the Deols, and it is the corporate guarantor for the loan. Dharmendra, Sunny Deol’s actor-politician father, is the personal guarantor.

The notice on Sunday stated that the Deols can still settle their outstanding debt with the bank to prevent the auction from being held under the provisions of the SARFAESI Act of 2002.

Reacting to the bank’s notice, Congress today asked who triggered the “technical reasons” for the withdrawal.
