We are friends of Bharatiya janata, not of any party: Shiv Sena’s Uddhav Thackeray


Mangalore Today News Network

In an interview to Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamana, Thackeray explained his party’s stand of not heeding to BJP’s request of voting in favour of the Central government during the trust vote on Friday.

"Of course we are part of the government but if something is wrong we will talk about it. We are friends of Bhartiya janata, not of any party," Thackeray said.

Raising questions over demonetisation and Goods and Services Tax once again, Thackeray alleged that the government at the Centre has not fulfilled expectations of the people.

"The previous government [United Progressive Alliance] was taken down by the people and there were big expectations from the new NDA government. But this government too is running like previous government," he said.

Speaking on the incidents of mob lynching in the country, Thackeray said BJP’s idea of Hindutva is fake. He criticized ’cow vigilantism’ rampant in the country and slammed the Centre for failing to control the same.

"In this country, cows are safe but women are not," he said.

Targeting BJP over the debate on nationalism, Thackeray said that the BJP has no right to decide who is a nationalist and who is anti-national.

"Anyone criticizing the government does not become anti-national. The Members of Parliaments are elected representatives of the people and have full right to raise questions."

Thackeray also mocked BJP president Amit Shah being called ’Chanakya’. "Chanakya used his ’niti’ for the country, not for political gains of a party," he said.

Though Thackeray did not reveal if he will continue or pull out of the alliance with BJP but hinted that Shiv Sena will maintain distance from both the opposition and the BJP. He indicated that he will choose to contest alone in upcoming election.

Thackeray also made it clear that Shiv Sena will continue to oppose BJP-backed projects including a refinery in Maharashtra’s Nanar and the bullet train.

Thackeray’s interview will be published in three parts in Saamana starting Monday.
