While the Uddhav Thackeray faction will hold its rally at the historic Shivaji Park in Dadar in central Mumbai, a venue associated with the Shiv Sena since its inception in 1966, the rebel group led by Shinde has organised their event at the MMRDA ground at the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in the suburbs The sprawling MMRDA ground is located close to 'Matoshree', the private residence of the Thackeray family in suburban Bandra.
Both the camps have claimed they are taking forward the ideals of Bal Thackeray, who was known to make fiery speeches at the Dussehra rallies at Shivaji Park year after year till his death in 2012.
Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray is expected to launch attacks on the Shinde faction and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), his former ally which is now part of the government in the state.
In his address, the chief minister is likely to target Uddhav Thackeray for "deviating" from the path of Hindutva and joining hands with his once rivals Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) to form the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in November 2019.
CM Eknath Shinde has made elaborate arrangements for Shiv Sainiks coming from across the state; taking a jibe at the same, supporters of Thackeray faction said that they will bring their own food but will always stay with Thackeray family.

Western Railway issues clarification after it was claimed that Sena rally was televised live on local trains
It has come to light through some social media channels that a rally of a certain political party was televised live on local trains. The Western Railway has not given any such permission. In fact, the contract agreement explicitly restricts the display of any advertisement/content of political nature.
An explanation on this matter has been called from the licensed contractor. Prima facie, it is informed that a live political rally was displayed on an LED panel inside local trains for 10-15 minutes. Once it was noted the live display was stopped.
