Had warned Eknath Shinde of BJP’s use and throw policy, Uddhav tells party workers

Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday revealed that he had warned rebel party leader Eknath Shinde months ago to beware of any alignment with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as it follows the policy of ‘use and throw.’

Mr. Thackeray also dared the rebel MLAs to survive politically without the name of late Bal Thackeray and party.

The party which faced one of the biggest ever threat to its existence following revolt by its MLAs under the leadership of second-in-command Eknath Shinde is on one hand fighting to keep its coalition government afloat and on the other is also focused on tightening its organisation and not let it slip away from the control of the Thackeray family. Under this, a worker outreach program will be initiated from Saturday by State’s Environment Minister Aaditya Thackeray.
