Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UTB) MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah's extensive speech in Nanded on Uddhav Thackeray shows that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is still scared of his party leader and Shiv Sena's dominance is intact in Maharashtra.
Shah on Saturday spoke of Uddhav Thackeray and undivided Shiv Sena's alliance with the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) under Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) ahead of the results of the 2019 Assembly polls.
"In Amit Shah's 20-minute speech in Nanded, he spoke on Uddhav Thackeray for at least seven minutes. This means that Matoshree's dominance is still intact. Shiv Sena party was broken, and its name and symbol were given to traitors. Even after this, the fear of Thackeray and the Shiv Sena is visible in them, this fear is good," a rough translation of his tweet in Marathi read.
The Shiv Sena spokesperson from the Uddhav Thackeray camp said that the BJP still fears them despite its symbol and name being given to the 'traitors', the Eknath Shinde camp of the Shiv Sena. (with ANI inputs)
