Thackeray said that Shiv Sena and Congress were staunch opponents of each other, but they never acted with a spirit of vengeance against each other. It is worth noting that BJP had criticized Uddhav Thackeray for wearing a Congress scarf at a party event.
Former Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray addressed a ‘Sadbhavna Diwas’ programme to mark the birth anniversary of late Rajiv Gandhi. Taking a dig at the BJP government, Thackeray said even though the Congress and the undivided Shiv Sena were arch rivals in the past, they never acted in a spirit of “vendetta”. “Bal Thackeray had strongly criticised Rajiv Gandhi (when Gandhi was the prime minister), but I never remember the CBI, ED or Income Tax knocking on the doors of Shiv Sena leaders,” he said, in an apparent dig at the BJP-led government.
Thackeray said that Shiv Sena and Congress were staunch opponents of each other, but they never acted with a spirit of vengeance against each other. It is worth noting that BJP had criticized Uddhav Thackeray for wearing a Congress scarf in a party program. BJP leader Shahzad Poonawala went to X and posted a video of Uddhav Thackeray wearing a Congress scarf. He wrote on X, “What a degradation! Has Uddhav Thackeray merged Uddhav Sena with Congress? What must Bala Saheb be thinking! He used to abuse Congress… Today those who are talking about Hindutva and Savarkar are criticizing each other.They abuse ji-Uddhav ji is strangling him.
However, Uddhav, who had already predicted the criticism coming his way, said during the event that I wore the Congress scarf as a sign of respect for the party. I am sure my pictures (wearing the scarf) will be circulated, but that is why I wore it.
