‘EC can’t take away the name Shiv Sena from us’: Uddhav Thackeray says BJP wants to keep nation permanently unstable
In an interview published in Saamana, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray said attempts are being made from Delhi to Maharashtra to finish off the "Thackeray brand".
Emphasising that the Election Commission of India has no right to take away the name Shiv Sena, Uddhav Thackeray, president of Shiv Sena (UBT) accused the BJP of keeping the nation “permanently unstable”.
In an interview with Saamana editor Sanjay Raut, which was published in the Sena mouthpiece on Saturday, Uddhav said, “The BJP has a policy. It wants to retain instability among people of different castes and at the economic level. It wants the country to remain permanently unstable, and takes advantage of this instability to govern the masses. The BJP has adopted the British policy of divide and rule.”
“They mouth words like batenge tu katenge (divided we fall) and then themselves resort to dividing people during the Assembly elections. After the Lok Sabha polls, the BJP brought the policy of divide and rule in the Assembly elections,” the Sena (UBT) chief said.
Thackeray said attempts are being made from “Delhi to Maharashtra to finish off the Thackeray brand”. “This is because they do not want any other name other than their own. They are comparing themselves to God,” he said.
