A day after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah dubbed his Shiv Sena faction as “fake”, Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Friday lashed out at Mr. Shah, questioning how many “real” BJP leaders remained in the ruling party today.
On a tour of Palghar while campaigning for the Sena (UBT)’s candidate, Bharati Kamadi, Mr. Thackeray launched a broadside against PM Narendra Modi.
“This is a country of 140 crores and one person rules over it as if the people are slaves. He [PM Modi] lords over the populace and is supposed to be acclaimed like he is someone descended from Heaven,” Mr. Thackeray quipped, while exhorting the voters of Palghar to throw out the BJP in the upcoming election.
