Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray attacked BJP stating that the Sena had “wasted 25 years because of its political alliance” with the party.

The BJP has been constantly attacking him due to his absence from the office after his surgery, Thackeray said, “Soon, I will step out and tour Maharashtra. I will show the power of Saffron to the opponents who are worried about my health. Like there is a caretaker government, they are caretaker opposition, and they will self-destruct.”

Stating that Sena has wasted 25 years in the alliance with BJP, he said “I still maintain that. Why did we step aside from them? Today, the hollow Hindutva they display is nothing but a charade for power. It is unfortunate that we nurtured them for 25 years.

He added, “Amit Shah came to Pune and challenged us to contest alone. We have accepted that challenge in the Dussehra rally. If you have the courage, contest strength of workers. Merely challenging us and putting ED and other agencies behind us is not courage.”
