Mumbai: NDA constituent and BJP’s estranged ally Shiv Sena on Fridaywarned that its relationship with the party ruling at the Centre are not good at the moment and it could have serious consequences on the alliance.
The warning came from Shiv Sena’s Youth wing chief Aaditya Thackeray, who is also the son of party president Uddhav Thackeray.
Aaditya Thackeray had on Thursday criticised the Devendra Fadnavis-led BJP dispensation and said that his party would walk out of the Maharashtra Government within a year.
“We will leave the government in a year and will come to power on our own. Party workers should start their preparations from now itself,” Aaditya Thackeray said while addressing a party event in Ahmednagar.
“Political temperatures are high in Maharashtra. I don’t know when elections will be held, but it looks like they’ll be held in a year,” the young Shiv Sena leader said.
Endorsing his views, senior party leader and MP Sanjay Raut today said that Yuva Sena chief Aaditya Thackeray, in his remark on the alliance with BJP, has tried to convey that if the Devendra Fadnavis-led government was not doing any work in the interest of Maharashtra, then it was of no use.
“Things Aaditya Thackeray has said, have also been highlighted by Uddhav Thackeray earlier. There is no doubt that relations between the two parties are not fine. If in the interest of state and nation, the government is not doing any work then it is of no use. This is what Aaditya Thackeray has tried to convey,” the Shiv Sena leader told media.
This is not the first time when the Shiv Sena has issued such a remark against its oldest ally – BJP.
Earlier in September, the Sena hinted towards parting ways with the BJP in the state, citing it did not want to be blamed for people’s suffering due to price hike and other reasons.
