A day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s rally in Maharashtra’s Nanded district, Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday claimed the Bharatiya Janata Party was ‘scared’ of Uddhav Thackeray and said it was a good thing.
“It is good that the BJP is scared of Uddhav Thackeray. It ensured a split in the party (Shiv Sena), gave name and its symbol to traitors; still, the fear of Uddhav Thackeray and Shiv Sena (original) has not gone. Mr. Shah spoke for 20 minutes of which seven minutes were spent on Uddhavji. His speech is amusing. I wonder whether his rally at Nanded was part of BJP’s Maha Sampark Abhiyan or an occasion to criticise Thackeray,” he said.
