Uddhav Thackeray lambasts BJP, alleges party of corruption in electoral bonds issue
The HinduShiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party, dubbing it the ‘Bhrasht Janata Party’ in light of the electoral bonds issue. He said the BJP had earlier accused Mr. Patel, Mr. Jindal, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, and former Chief Minister Ashok Chavan of involvment in corruption. Mr. Thackeray also criticised the BJP’s alliance in Maharashtra, questioned the Mahayuti government’s legitimacy and accused it of being bound solely by corruption, while also downplaying any rift between the Shiv Sena and Congress over seat allocations for Lok Sabha election, emphasising the need for unity to ensure electoral success. BJP’s counter to Uddhav In response, Maharashtra BJP president Chandrashekhar Bawankule countered Mr. Thackeray’s remarks, warning of the imminent exposure of corruption scandals from his tenure as Maharashtra’s Chief Minister.
