Parted ways with BJP as I don't believe in its version of Hindutva: Uddhav Thackrey

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Friday said that he parted ways with the BJP as he does not believe in its version of Hindutva. He added that the saffron party was like Kauravas, smacks of arrogance.

Further, he said that his party would build a temple of Chhatrapati Shivaji in every Maharashtra district when his party comes to power.



"It (Mahayuti government) built the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj only for votes and that statue collapsed, but I want to tell you and promise you that when we come to power, we will build a temple of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in every district of Maharashtra. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is a vote bank for them, but for us he is God. I respect RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, but I don't like his views. He is saying come together to save Hindutva, why didn't you or Modi save Hindutva in the last 10 years?" Said Thackeray.


The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader also took a jibe at BJP and the RSS relationship, saying the that Sangh should introspect whether it agrees with today's 'hybrid' BJP.

He also spoke on the Dharavai project, saying, "Amit Shah came to Maharashtra and he said that this time only Mahayuti but in 2019 he said something else... I am not fighting only for myself I am fighting for all of you. They sold Dharavi to Adani and the people of Dharavi are facing many problems. I assure all of you and promise you that when we come to power I will cancel this project of Adani in Dharavi... I want to tell the CJI that if you want to make history then give the right decision. You are only speaking, not giving any decision. You do aarti with Narendra Modi it is fine but if you do not give any decision then everyone will lose faith in the judiciary. People believe only in judiciary and democracy."
