Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde indirectly criticized former CM and Shiv Sena UBT president Uddhav Thackeray during the Shiv Sena's annual Dussehra rally. Shinde, without mentioning Thackeray's name, questioned his ability to become the state's next CM, pointing out that even his own allies don't support him. With the upcoming assembly elections approaching, Shinde's speech also touched on government schemes and projects, and vowed to continue the legacy of Balasaheb Thackeray. Meanwhile, strict immigration policies in Canada have led to a rise in enrolment in Punjab's colleges, and have also impacted the local politics in the state with several young men being elected as village heads.
