BJP and Shiv Sena now fight after Mumbai Mayor compares PM Narendra Modi to Hitler
Tensions between the BJP and its ally the BJP have once again come to the fore after Snehal Ambekar from the Shiv Sena compared Modi to Hitler.

The BJP is miffed after Ambekar after she was allegedly said in an interview given to a city based tabloid that Modi took decisions like Hitler. “I even admire Modi for his self reliant way of working, but at some level I feel his rule is quite Hitler-shaahi(like Hitler). This is bound to happen when power is concentrated in the hands of one man.”said Ambekar in the interview.
Interestingly while the Sena has claimed that she was ‘misquoted’, Ambekar herself has refused toa apologize or clarify. On Tuesday the issue was also raised in the State Assembly with NCP Chief Sunil Tatkare who is a member of the State legislative council questioning the state government’s take on the issue. “The Prime Minister is the PM, he is an institution, since the comments have been made by the BJP ally, the state should answer on the issue.”said Tatkare.
Shiv Sena MLC, Neelam Gorhe however objected claiming that Tatkare was trying to ‘spread mis-understanding and that the quote was wrongly attributed to the Mayor.
