Uddhav Thackeray said, ‘The verdict went in favor of thieves’.
Mumbai:
Shiv Sena faction chief Uddhav Thackeray, stripped of the party’s name and its symbol by the Election Commission, today has one of the most famous lines from the film “Mr India” on the BJP and its chief strategist Amit Shah – ‘Mogambo Khush Hua’. Don’t know. Now they boast of 56 inch chest. Where was that 56 inch chest then? He was sweating”.
He said that once people used to wear Modi’s mask in rallies, now it is PM Modi who is behind the mask of Balasaheb Thackeray. , That fight was decided in Mr Shinde’s favor by the Election Commission on Friday – a decision Mr Thackeray plans to challenge in the Supreme Court.
“Yesterday, someone (Amit Shah) came to Pune. He asked how things were going in Maharashtra. Then someone said it was a very good day, because the Shiv Sena name and symbol were given to the slaves who came with us. So He (Mr Shah) said very well, ‘Mogambo khush hua’,” Mr Thackeray said at a public meeting in Mumbai’s Andheri.
“These are today’s Mogambos. Like the original Mogambos, they want people to fight among themselves so that they can enjoy power,” Mr. Thackeray said.
However, the 62-year-old former Maharashtra chief minister termed the election body’s move as a “good thing” as it has “angered people”.
“They threw me out of my own house and the verdict went in favor of the thieves,” he said, warning that if they were allowed to get away with it, it could be repeated with any other party.
Mr Thackeray also reacted sharply to Amit Shah’s allegation that he had “surrendered at the feet of (Nationalist Party Congress chief) Sharad Pawar” to become chief minister.
“In 2019, Uddhav Thackeray campaigned with us, but when the election results came, he forgot all ideologies and fell at Sharad Pawar’s feet and requested him to be the CM. BJP is not greedy for power and we will never forget our ideologies. said Mr Shah, who is currently in Maharashtra ahead of the Mumbai civic polls.
Mogambo said that I was licking the feet of Congress and NCP for the post of Chief Minister. People’s Democratic Party of Kashmir),” Mr Thackeray said, referring to the surprise alliance between the two parties with opposing ideologies to rule the former state in 2015.
“You want my father’s face, but not his son’s. The son who was with you. I challenge him to bring the stolen bow and arrows before me. I have the torch and we will see what happens. ..they may have stolen the bow and arrow, but Ram is with me,” Mr Thackeray said.
The fight between the two factions of Shiv Sena and various moves in it have been challenged in the Supreme Court, which will hear the matter next on Tuesday.
