TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ Taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray claimed on Friday that the ‘Modi wave’ has waned and that the BJP now relies on “sympathy wave” to win elections.He said the national party gets a “stomach ache” if the Shiv Sena becomes politically strong.
The BJP narrowed the gap between its tally with that of the Sena in the cash-rich Mumbai civic body as its nominee won the BMC bypoll from Bhandup, beating the bickering ally’s candidate by 4,792 votes on Thursday.
However, the Uddhav Thackeray-led party today got a boost when six corporators of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation of the Raj Thackeray-headed Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) joined it.
“The Modi wave has waned now. The BJP has to rely on sympathy wave to win polls and bypolls. If they (the BJP) get stomach ache with our increased strength, what kind of allies are they?” Mr Thackeray asked.
