After the Maharashtra Chief Minister said 25 years the Shiv Sena spent with BJP as an ally were wasted, Union Minister of State in the Ministry of Railways Raosaheb Danve on Monday hit back at Uddhav Thackeray saying he has no right to comment as he was not responsible for the alliance between two parties.Danve also said had Uddhav has no right to comment on it since he is not the one who formed the alliance and "it was Bal Thackeray and Pramod Mahajan who entered into the alliance with the BJP to fight Congress"."Shiv Sena in Maharashtra is not known anywhere except Mumbai. Shiv Sena was only in Mumbai but by holding the hand of the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Sena reached the whole of Maharashtra; all because we had an alliance," he further said."(The alliance) was the calculation of that time because unless we came together, we could not have fought Congress. At that time Udhav Thackeray was in school. He did not even understand politics then," Danve added.Referring to Uddhav's Hindutva for power remark, Danve asked what exactly has the BJP done for power. "BJP did not go to other parties for power.""If we form an alliance, then they (Shiv Sena) also did the same. They opposed the Congress and NCP throughout their life and today they joined hands with them; what did they do? If we are opportunists, what did they do for power?" he asked while also questioning Shiv Sena's contribution to their homeland."You (Shiv Sena) have also done it (alliance with Congress) for the pleasure of power," he added.Further reacting to Shiv Sena's attempt to expand its footprint outside the state for a national role, the MoS said, "Uddhav Thackeray will understand what happens when he contests the elections alone. Shiv Sena has contested elections in Gujarat, Goa, and Uttar Pradesh. These are all big claims to encourage their workers; they can never win elections."Lashing out at the Maharashtra Chief Minister, Danve said that the people of the country know very well what all the BJP has done for Hindutva and who left it for power."Talk about Dombivli and Kalyan election; Shiv Sena talked about Savarkar at that time. Is this a Hindutva party?" he questioned while adding that Uddhav is behaving in a way exactly opposite to what Balashaeb preached."Shiv Sena left Hindutva and joined hands with anti-Hindu parties for the greed of power," he said.Uddhav Thackeray's remarks came on the 96th birth anniversary of the party founder Bal Thackeray. He also said that the BJP has used Hindutva for power."We are the ones who supported them (BJP). We had an alliance for 25 years. BJP used Hindutva for power. We left BJP but will not leave Hindutva. BJP is not Hindutva. Tactics were used against us when we challenged them," he said.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
