Nishikant Dubey hits out at Uddhav Thackeray for sacrificing ideology for political power
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey said, "... The strength of both Uddhav Thackeray and Eknath Shinde is Balasaheb Thackeray. Following Balasaheb Thackeray's values, Eknath Shinde is raising the flag of Hindutva... Arvind Sawant of Shiv Sena has no knowledge of history or geography. In 1969, Balasaheb Thackeray's wife, Meena Thackeray, was shot. There was a conspiracy to kill her. He asked me a question in Parliament about how Balasaheb Thackeray's revolver license was cancelled in 1969. At that time, he was neither an MP nor an MLA, nor was Shiv Sena a very big party. When he learned about the entire conspiracy around 1976-1977, and that the entire Congress party had deliberately asked him to join them, he gave a very good speech, saying, 'I would rather die, I would rather take poison, but I would never side with Indira Gandhi, I would never side with Congress. I will not side with murderers.' Today, Uddhav Thackeray has allied with the same Congress... All these people, who have nothing to do with Hindutva, abandon their ideology solely for the sake of power, for the sake of lying, for the sake of opposing PM Modi."
