Eknath Shinde, the chief minister of Maharashtra, unleashed a scathing attack on Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray alleging that he buried the Hindutva ideology of Bal Thackeray for power and joined hands with Congress and socialist parties.
Addressing a massive gathering at the Dussehra rally of Shiv Sena in Azad Maidan, Shinde, without naming Thackeray, said he back-stabbed Bal Thackeray by committing dishonesty with his ideological legacy.
Shinde said he won’t be surprised if they (Shiv Sena-UBT) ally with Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM and even hug terrorist organisations such as Hamas, Hizbul Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Toiba for their selfish motives and chair (power). You have buried the Hindutva ideology of Balasaheb Thackeray by going with Congress and Samajwadis for power. Balasaheb had given Garv se kaho hum Hindu hai slogan from Shivtirth (Shivaji Park ground) but slogans like Garv se kaho hum Congressi and Samajwadi hai are being given from that venue, Shinde said.
