The rallies come just weeks before state elections, with the current assembly’s term ending on November 26.
Dussehra rallies hold key place in Shiv Sena
Dussehra rallies have been a key tradition for the Shiv Sena since the 1960s, originally led by party founder Bal Thackeray at Shivaji Park.
After the party split in 2022, the Uddhav-led faction continues to hold its rally at Shivaji Park, while Shinde’s faction has shifted to Azad Maidan.
