TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday criticised the Centre’s decision to transfer probe into the 2018 Koregaon Bhima violence case to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) without taking the state government into confidence.
In the third and concluding part of his interview to Shiv Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’, Thackeray also accused the BJP of “betraying” him and said his ‘hindutva’ ideology was different from that the BJP as he did not want an unstable ‘Hindu Rashtra’ where governments are toppled and there is communal tension. To a question, he said the (Supreme Court’s) decision on Ram temple was according to the Constitution.
He also said the future of his Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi government, comprising the Sena, NCP and Congress,was “good”. NCP chief Sharad Pawar was the MVA government’s “guide” and not remote controlling it, he said, adding that he will visit Delhi soon to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress president Sonia Gandhi. Referring to the Koregaon Bhima violence case, Thackeray said the Centre has all rights to step into the probe, but it should have taken the state government into confidence before handing over the investigation to NIA.
