Bal Thackeray saved Narendra Modi when he was Gujarat CM, says Uddhav

India TV News  

Mumbai: In a scathing attack on former ally BJP, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday blamed it for the alliance's break-up while claiming it was party patriarch Bal Thackeray who saved Narendra Modi as Gujarat chief minister in the wake of the nationwide clamour for his removal post-Godhra riots. Addressing the party's first poll rally, two days after the BJP broke the 35-year-old alliance, Thackeray said senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader LKAdvani, the then union home minister, had sought the his father's views on the issue of sacking Modi when they met here. "The late Balasaheb had categorically advised Advani that if Modi was removed as chief minister, BJP would lose Gujarat forever," Thackeray said amidst applause from the gathering at Mahalaxmi Race Court. Though the Sena felt sad after the BJP broke the alliance, Thackeray said it was actually good for the state since ‘we tolerated a lot in the past 25 years before they abruptly broke up'.
