Furthermore, in a veiled dig at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Raut said that the parties claiming to be well-wishers of Maharashtra were its enemies, and broke the Shiv Sena to attack the state’s pride. He added that no relations should be maintained with such parties.
“Uddhav Ji said that there are a few parties who claim to be well-wishers of Maharashtra, but they are the enemy of Maharashtra. They broke Balasaheb’s Shiv Sena to attack the pride of Maharashtra, and with such parties, we shouldn’t have any relations, and then only we can be true Maharashtrians, and this is not a condition but the feelings of the people of Maharashtra, and this is what Udhhav ji has said…” the Shiv Sena (UBT) MP further added.
Meanwhile, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis welcomed the possibility of a reunion between the two cousins and called it a ‘good’ step. “If the two come together, we will be happy about it. If people settle their differences, it is a good thing. What else can I say about it?” Fadnavis told reporters.
The Maharashtra CM was responding to Raj Thackeray’s recent statement, where the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief expressed willingness to reunite with Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav by forgetting past differences.
