Shiv Sena leader Jitendra Avhad receives phone threat, demands BJP MLA Narendra Mehta’s membership be cancelled

Maharashtra politics saw a new development when Shiv Sena leader Jitendra Avhad reported receiving a threatening phone call. The call, according to Avhad, contained demands that the membership of BJP legislator Narendra Mehta be cancelled. Avhad has publicly called for the party to take action against Mehta, citing the alleged threat as a reason for his demand. No further details about the source of the call or any official response have been disclosed. The incident adds to the ongoing political tensions in the state.

The Shiv Sena leader’s statement was covered by local media, highlighting the seriousness with which such threats are being treated. While Avhad has not identified the caller, his demand for Mehta’s expulsion underscores the fraught relationship between the two parties in Maharashtra. The matter is expected to be examined by party officials, though no formal decision has been announced yet.

Observers note that phone threats against political figures, though not uncommon, can have significant repercussions, especially when they involve calls for disciplinary action within party ranks. The situation remains under close watch as both parties navigate the fallout.
