TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ Maharashtra Chief Minister and Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday said since he had seen the Bharatiya Janata Party deceive his ‘gullible’ father and Sena founder Bal Thackeray, he himself was acting shrewdly with that party and cannot ignore the ‘games’ it played in the guise of Hindutva.
In a veiled attack on Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president and his estranged cousin Raj Thackeray, the chief minister said he does not pay attention to ‘new players’ of Hindutva. Without naming the MNS, he also said the party was making experiments to see if any cause was working for it or not.
Speaking during an interaction organised by Marathi daily Loksatta, Uddhav Thackeray accused the BJP of deceiving Bal Thackeray during the latter’s lifetime when the two parties were still partners.’It is alleged that the Shiv Sena is not the same which it was during Balasaheb Thackeray’s time. It is right. Balasaheb bhole hote (Balasaheb was gullible),’ he said.
‘I have myself seen how you deceived Balasaheb from time to time. Hence, I am behaving a bit shrewdly with you. I am not gullible. He was ignoring the games you played in the guise of Hindutva. But I won’t ignore it,’ he added.
