MUMBAI: The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) on Tuesday claimed that 22 MLAs and nine MPs of the rival Shiv Sena are feeling suffocated due to the “step-motherly treatment” of the BJP and sought to leave the Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led group. Can ,
In an editorial in Shiv Sena’s (UBT) mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ on Shiv Sena MP Gajanan Kirtikar’s remark that his party was being meted out step-motherly treatment, the MLAs and MPs of the Shinde group in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are hens and roosters. where did it go. ) coop and it cannot be said when they may be slaughtered.
It said that the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (then undivided) parted ways with the BJP (in 2019) because of the same “step-motherly treatment”, which became intolerable, and also for its own safety and self-respect.
The Thackeray-led Shiv Sena joined hands with the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party to form the government in Maharashtra in 2019 after walking out of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Shinde had joined hands with the BJP to become the CM after the split in the Shiv Sena last year.
Kirtikar, a Lok Sabha member from Mumbai, said on Friday, “We are part of the NDA…so our work should be according to that and (NDA) constituents should get (appropriate) status. We feel that we are.” Step-motherly treatment is being given.”
A Saamana editorial on Tuesday said “22 MLAs and nine MPs” of the Shinde group are feeling suffocated due to the step-motherly treatment by the BJP and have developed a mindset to leave the group.
It said Shiv Sena MPs and MLAs “betrayed” Thackeray and joined hands with the BJP, but within a year their “love affair” soured and there were talks of their divorce. Kirtikar had said last week that the Shiv Sena contested 22 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra (out of a total of 48) in 2019 and this arrangement with the BJP would continue in the state in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as well.
The editorial claimed that the Shiv Sena has spoken of contesting 22 seats in the Lok Sabha, but the BJP will not give it more than five to seven seats. The Marathi daily said Shiv Sena’s claim that it will fight on 22 seats is laughable.
The editorial targeted Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, claiming that he has become Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s “chalak”, meaning that all powers of the state government rest with the BJP leader.
