The Shiv Sena led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde will hold a two-day convention in Kolhapur on February 16 and 17 to prepare for the elections for the upcoming Lok Sabha and state Assembly, reported news agency ANI.


Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde along with nine cabinet ministers and Shiv Sena MLAs and MPs will attend the convention in Kolhapur, reported ANI.


In this special Maha Adhiveshan (Convention) Shiv Sena leaders will have talks on upcoming Lok Sabha elections and strategy for Assembly Elections in Maharashtra.


Shiv Sena spokesperson Manisha Kayande, while speaking to ANI said that the first day of the meeting will deliberate on organizational issues, political issues and government workshops.

"On February 17, the second day of the convention, the election management training will be conducted by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and will be concluded by the Chief Minister's meeting in the evening. Ministers, MLAs, MPs and office bearers of Shiv Sena will attend this session from all over the state of Maharashtra. Eknath Shinde will have a look at Shivdut Abhiyan and take everyone's opinions for preparation of upcoming elections," Manisha Kayande said, reported ANI.

She further said that Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde will also address a rally on the second day of the convention, reported ANI.

Meanwhile, after fielding former Congress leader as its candidate for the Rajya Sabha elections, Shiv Sena chief and Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde said that all the candidates of the Mahayuti (Grand Alliance) will be victorious, reported ANI.

"All candidates of the Mahayuti will be victorious. We have an absolute majority. These elections can be unopposed too. Milind Deora is an honest and highly educated candidate who has also been a minister. He has good political and grassroots experience. We have full faith that he will work well at the National level and also prove to be a good decision for the party," CM Shinde said, reported ANI.

On Thursday, Congress turncoat Milind Deora filed a nomination as Shiv Sena's (Eknath Shinde faction) Rajya Sabha candidate from Maharashtra.

Deora filed his nomination at the Vidhan Bhavan in Mumbai in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and other party leaders.

Deora earlier this year switched from Congress severing decades-old family ties with the grand old party and joined Shiv Sena.
