One who will trounce Sena yet to be born: Thackeray
Hitting out at BJP chief Amit Shah for his remarks that the saffron party will thrash former allies if a pre-poll alliance did not materialize ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray today said one who will trounce the Sena was yet to be born. Shah had made the statement in a veiled warning to the Sena. Here's more.
'BJP will thrash former allies in coming Lok Sabha polls'
Shah had recently said that if an alliance happened, the BJP will ensure victory for its allies, but if it did not, the party will thrash its former allies in the coming Lok Sabha polls. Criticizing the remarks, Thackeray, whose party is an ally of the ruling BJP at the Center and in Maharashtra, said that no one can defeat Sena.
Sena has seen enough waves in its journey, said Thackeray
"I've heard words like 'patak denge' from someone. One who will trounce the Sena is yet to be born," said Thackeray. Taking a swipe at the 'Modi wave' before the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, he said, "The Sena has seen enough 'waves' in its journey."
Raised Ram Temple issue to expose poll plank: Thackeray
Unlike the BJP, Thackeray said, the Sena has raised the Ram temple construction issue before the polls to "expose" those who used the issue as a poll plank. "Just tell us how the Congress is hindering the temple construction. The Congress was shown its place in 2014. The party couldn't even get the post of Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha," he said.
BJP should come clean on it: Thackeray on building temple
Thackeray also asked the BJP how could it build the Ram temple when it has allies like Nitish Kumar of the JD(U) and Ram Vilas Paswan of the LJP opposing it. "The BJP should come clean on it," the leader said.
