Amid multiple office bearers of Shiv Sena (UBT) joining Shinde Sena on Friday, the UBT chief Uddhav Thackeray dared Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Bharatiya Janata Party to "keep aside ED, CBI" and fight them directly.
Earlier today, around 80 workers from Shiv Sena (UBT) and Congress switched over to Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde), the Maharashtra Deputy CM told reporters in Mumbai. Reacting to this, Uddhav Thackeray took a strong jibe at Shinde and said, "If you (Eknath Shinde and BJP) are 'Mard ki Aulad'(son of man) keep aside ED, CBI, Income Tax and Police and come and fight with us. We will show you which is the real Shiv Sena. If you try to break us now, we will break your head." Thackeray was addressing the 'Shivbandhan' programme organised by party's leader Ambadas Danve in Mumbai. Earlier today, when asked about 'Operation Tiger', which is regarding multiple leaders of Shiv Sena (UBT) allegedly defecting to Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde), the Deputy Chief Minister said that multiple MLAs are in touch with him. "People want work. Those who come for work, their party does not look at them differently and works. Shiv Sena is the party of the tiger. One cannot become a tiger by wearing a tiger's skin, one needs the heart of a tiger," he said. Deputy CM Shinde also hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, saying that the Maharashtra assembly results had "given a 440-volt shock" to the Congress leader. "This result has given Rahul Gandhi a 440-volt shock and he has not yet recovered from the shock of defeat," he said. On the initiative of MLA Bhavana Gawli, Akola District Chief of UBT group Vijay Malokar, State Congress Secretary Dilip Bhojraj, Congress Washim District General Secretary Sachin Patil, Pramod Raut, Congress Karanja Taluka Vice President Vijay Khaire, Bhau Thorat, Youth Congress City President Praful Gavai and 75 workers joined Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) today. The Deputy CM added, "Rahul Gandhi should accept defeat. The voters in Maharashtra have cleared the opposition and given a huge victory to the Mahayuti, said Deputy Chief Minister Shinde. We are working to carry forward the ideas of Shiv Sena, which is 80 percent social work and 20 percent politics. The assembly elections proved that people need people who work, not people who make accusations and curses every day." (ANI)
