Gujarat: BJP MLA denies writing letter on fixed wage policy, alleges misuse
Porbandar BJP MLA Arjun Modhwadia clarified on Monday that he didn't write the letter addressed to Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, circulating on social media, written on a letterhead by his name and bearing his signature. The MLA made the clarification on his social media letter talks about the issue of fixed wage policy in the state while asking the government to review the same. In his post, written in Gujarati language on X, Modhwadia stated, 'I have made representations regarding the issues of (government) employees with sensitivity, a number of times. However, the letter being tagged is not written by me. For publicity… the manner in which a campaign is being run with the help of an unauthorised letter… will jeopardize the interests of the employees. The BJP government under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel is sensitive.' He added, 'Instead of running unnecessary campaigns, only the path of dialogue will be useful.' Modhwadia told The Indian Express that somebody has misused his letterhead and signature in the letter. He, however, said that he is not going to lodge any police complaint in the matter.

Fresh tussle between Shiv Sena and BJP over Marathi films
The ongoing administrative tussle between the alliance partners Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiv Sena seems to have led to the cancellation of a meeting on the issue of allotment of multiplex screens to Marathi movies. Jumping into the ongoing discourse to uphold importance of Marathi, Shiv Sena leader and Minister for Marathi Language, Uday Samant on Monday announced a meeting on July 29 with multiplex owners to discuss the issues concerning Marathi films, to be chaired by Deputy CM Eknath Shinde. However, the meeting had to be cancelled within hours as state's Cultural Affairs Minister and Mumbai BJP chief Ashish Shelar is presently abroad. 'To address the difficulties faced in securing screens for Marathi films in multiplex theatres in Maharashtra, an important meeting has been organised under the guidance of Hon. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde Saheb, involving the Marathi Film Organisation, the Cultural Department, and representatives of multiplexes,' announced Samant on social media website X. He posted a letter announcing the meeting at the Mantralaya office of Shinde. The Cultural Affairs Ministry, under whom the issue lies, is headed by BJP's Ashish Shelar. 'We have no knowledge about the meeting as our minister is abroad,' said an official from the minister's office. Hours after the announcement, the meeting was cancelled. Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) had aggressively taken up the issue of lack of screens for Marathi films. It had even led to violent altercations at some places and multiplexes. Amid the ongoing political climate where the estranged cousins Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray seem to be coming together on the issue of Marathi, the ruling Shiv Sena too seems to be entering into the fray, ahead of local body polls. When contacted, Sushant Shelar–actor and chief of Shiv Sena's film wing called Shiv Chitrapat Sena–said that his party has always stood for Marathi films and there is no political angle to the demand. 'Our demand is that a screen should be reserved for Marathi films in multiplexes. We have raised the issue before and we will continue raising it,' he said. He added that the meeting on Tuesday was cancelled since the minister was not available.
