Uddhav Thackeray, the leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT), claimed on Sunday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi represents India abroad by traveling there.
Reacting to the remarks made by PM Modi over the naming of the I.N.D.I.A. alliance, Uddhav Thackeray said,” I.N.D.I.A meeting will be held in Mumbai soon. PM Modi said that even ‘Indian Mujahideen’ uses India. India is our country’s name, on which you (PM Modi) travel.When you travel to America and hug Joe Biden at that time, do you represent India or do you say I am from the Indian Mujahideen? India, Hindustan, and Bharat are our country’s names.”
Uddhav Thackeray further stated that the BJP follows Hindutva for vote bank politics, and that is why he went out of their alliance.
“I left BJP alliance because they are doing fake Hindutva. They are only pretending that they follow Hindutva, but they only follow Hindutva for votes. I can’t pretend to fake Hindutva,” he said.
He added that the BJP’s rival parties are destroyed by central government organizations like the ED, CBI, and Income Tax.
“Today, this BJP daggers us. They are sending their army (ED, CBI, and Income Tax) and saying, Come with us, and if you don’t, then we will put you behind bars. They destroyed Shivsena, NCP, and now I am hearing that they are trying to destroy Congress too. ED, CBI, and Income tax are strong only under the NDA,” he said.
Uddhav Thackeray also mentioned that he has no personal hatred for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
