Ending speculation, Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena camp and Prakash Ambedkar’s VBA seal alliance

The Hindu  

In what is being projected as a new political alignment in Maharashtra, the Shiv Sena and Prakash Ambedkar-led Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi on Monday officially announced their alliance ahead of the State civic polls, ending months of intense speculation. While both leaders invoked the bonds between their respective grandfathers — Prabhodankar Thackeray and Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar — and said the new ‘Shivshakti-Bhimshakti’ had been forged in a bid to “keep democracy alive,” the two leaders remained unclear on the precise arrangement and the nature of their alliance — whether it would be limited to the BMC poll or whether the two parties would contest future elections together. ‘Country First’ Speaking at Ambedkar Bhavan in Mumbai’s Dadar, Mr. Thackeray, attacking the BJP at the Centre and the State, said: “Ambedkar and Thackeray have a historical significance. When questioned on whether the Sena alliance with Mr. Ambedkar would cause any rupture within the MVA, Mr. Thackeray said the time had come to think beyond party interests and save the country which was hurtling towards a dictatorship while censuring the ‘negative politics’ of the RSS and the BJP. Lashing out at the BJP’s double-standards on ‘Hindutva’, Mr. Thackeray said the BJP acted as if only their version of ‘Hindutva’ was correct despite conveniently making political compromises whenever it suited them.
